“…As soon as the painful symptoms are relieved, a rehabilitation program with isometric contractions can be undertaken, followed by concentric exercises based on a symptomatic approach (12). The effectiveness of physical therapy in the healing process of MH has recently been evaluated in ad hoc studies (13)(14)(15). Among these, CO 2 laser therapy has resulted effective and well tolerated in subjects with haemophilia.…”

“…It consists of the application of adhesive bandages in the site of the hematoma. Skin stimulation by KT determines greater recruitment of motor units and neuromuscular spindles with a consequent improvement in muscle strength and muscle tone (14,15). It also determines an increase in blood flow and an increase in interstitial spaces, favoring vascular and lymphatic drainage (16).…”

Introduction. Intramuscular hemorrhages are the second most common type of bleeding in patients with haemophilia. In haemophilic patients, muscle bleeding causes pain and postural defects and requires a long healing time. Aim. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of kinesiotaping, in combination with functional rehabilitation and CO 2 laser therapy, in the healing process of MH in patients with haemophilia. Methods. We recruited 39 haemophilia patients who presented with a muscle hematoma. The patients were divided into 2 groups: treatment group treated with kinesiotaping, functional re-education and CO 2 laser therapy, and a control group treated with functional re-education and CO 2 laser therapy. The evolution of the hematoma was studied ultrasonographically and some evaluation scales (NRS, FISH) were administered.Results. The treatment group, compared to the control group, showed significant improvements in terms of: hematoma diameter (2.36 ± 3.32 vs 6.47 ± 3.37; p < 0.05), hematoma thickness (0.08 ± 0.12 vs 0.28 ± 0.14; p = 0.08), pain (NRS: 2 ± 1.57 vs 3.53 ± 1.37; p < 0.05) and number of days of replacement therapy (n days: 1.3 ± 0.48 vs 3.2 ± 0.98; p < 0.05). These results were shown to be superior in patients on prophylaxis. Conclusions. Kinesiotaping, associated with therapeutic exercise and physical therapy, can be a valuable aid in reducing the healing times of muscle hematomas in haemophilic patients, especially if already under prophylaxis.

The purpose of this study is to objectively and systematically investigate the effect of Kinesio taping by organizing and analyzing the research results using effect size. Methods: A total of 1,000 papers was searched, and 100 of them were selected the first time. Afterward, the effects of taping were analyzed and classified papers that studied balance, muscle strength, and pain, and finally 34 papers were selected. The effect size was calculated using the Effect Size Calculators (University of Colorado, USA) program. Statistical analysis was performed by using PASW Statistics software version 23.0 (IBM Co., Armonk, NY, USA). Descriptive statistics were used to obtain the effect size and confidence interval for each group. Results: In a study related to balance control ability, the effect size was 1.519 in the young subjects group (20-39 years old), and the effect size in the elderly group (65 years or older) was 0.360. In a study related to muscle strength, the effect size was 0.469 in the group of young subjects and 0.250 in the middle-aged group (40-65 years old), and the effect size of the elderly group was 0.848. In the study related to pain control, the effect size was 0.469 in the young group, the effect size of the middle-aged group was 0.972, and the effect size of the elderly group was 1.040. Conclusion: Kinesio taping differed in the degree of effect according to the age group of the subjects, but it was effective in balance control ability, muscle strength, and pain.
