Objective: To investigate the effects of Kinesio taping for stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain. Design: Double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Subjects: Twenty-one stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain within 6 months of stroke onset in the rehabilitation ward of a medical university hospital in Taiwan. Methods: A 3-week intervention involving a conventional rehabilitation protocol and therapeutic Kinesio taping was conducted with an experimental group of 11 stroke patients. A control group of 10 stroke patients underwent an identical conventional rehabilitation programme and sham Kinesio taping on the hemiplegic shoulder. Numerical rating scale scores, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index, ultrasound findings and pain-free passive range of motion of the affected shoulder, were evaluated before and after the intervention. Mann-Whitney test was used to compare within-group continuous variables before and after the intervention. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to analyse the differences and changes in values between study and control groups. Results: There was no statistical difference in demographic variables between the 2 groups. Both groups showed improvement in passive range of motion of the shoulder, (mean numerical rating scale 2.36 (standard deviation (SD) 1.03)), and mean Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (16.64 (SD 2.62)) after the intervention (p < 0.001); however, no significant between-group differences were observed in the numerical rating scale score, pain-free passive ROM, and ultrasound findings for the shoulder after 3 weeks of treatment. Concerning the variables changes, the therapeutic Kinesio taping group showed more improvement in the numerical rating scale

“…Among the identified studies, in six studies the effect of taping on the balance of subacute (16)(17)(18) and chronic (7,8,19) stroke patients and in one study the effect of taping on the balance in subjects with chronic spinal cord injury (9) was examined. In addition, among the included studies, in six studies the effect of Kinseio tape (7,9,(17)(18)(19) and in one study the effect of Mulligan tape (16) on balance was examined. The results and interventions are detailed in Table 2.…”

“…It helps to absorb lymph, blood circulation, and even joint fixation. A recent study has reported that the use of specific tension in taping can decrease the pain as it improves the range of motion, proprioception, muscle tone, and balance parameters (7)(8)(9). It has reported that elastic taping is also a valid technique for reducing spasticity and related symptoms in a short period of time and improving balance and walking in people with spinal cord injury (9).…”

Context: Balance control results from multiple interactions between different systems: input from the visual, the somatosensory, and the vestibular systems are integrated and regulated by the central nervous system to ensure standing balance. One of the effective interventions is using ankle taping. The purpose of this review was to assess the effectiveness of ankle taping on balance in central nervous system diseases. Evidence Acquisition: This study is a systematic review and databases PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Ovid, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for original scientific articles that were published between January 1990 to July 2018. Studies investigating the effect of therapeutic ankle taping on balance in central nervous system diseases were included. The PEDro quality scale was used to investigate the studies included; it investigates taping, balance, central nervous system disease. Results: Seven articles were included from 256 relevant articles. There were differences among the studies in terms of methodology, design, outcomes, sample size, procedure, etc. The results showed that using lower leg taping can be effective in balance improvement. Conclusions: Using lower leg taping can be effective in balance improvement in central nervous system diseases.

“…10,11 It has also been used successfully in the field of orthopedics, traumatology, and sports. In the past years, new applications have emerged in the field of neurology, [12][13][14] rheumatology, 15,16 and even urogynecology; 17,18 and have shown effects never described before, such as improving sensory feedback, which have yet to be demonstrated by scientific evidence. Likewise, comparative studies have been made between the effects of KT and other taping modalities already in place for many years.…”

Pediatric cerebral palsy is a non-progressive neurological disorder. It is one of the most common causes of disability among children. Numerous physical therapy techniques are currently used for treatment, and kinesio taping is one of them. The main objective of this study was to review the outcomes of using kinesio taping in published scientific studies conducted in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy and determine their methodological quality. The main scientific databases and the studies published in the official site of the Asociación Española de Vendaje Neuromuscular (Spanish Association for Neuromuscular Taping) were reviewed. Nine studies were included, which provided important outcomes. These studies show the effectiveness of recovering upper limb and motor function and solving dysphagia, which could be present in these patients, although scientific evidence may expand due to improvements in methodology.
