“…In addition, the articles showed that these cutaneous stimulation reduces postural disturbances in young and old people following peripheral neuropathic disorders and post-stroke (28). In a general view, we can see that our study on the effects of kinesio tape in athletes with FAI is incompatible with some studies (25)(26)(27) and consistent with others (22)(23)(24). There are several reasons for these differences in the results of the studies, including the type of tape used, the technique used, the percentage of tension used, the variables to be evaluated, the evaluated task, the time of evaluation, and ultimately the population studied.…”

“…The results of the study by Cotrea et al also did not support the use of kinesio tape to improve the postural sway in people with healthy ankles. Cotrea explained that the absence of the effect of Kinesio tape was due to the fact that the evaluation was carried out after 20 minutes, and it might be important that the time should pass and then the participants be evaluated (24). In addition, the sample was made up of healthy people without muscle weakness or impaired postural sways.…”

Objective. The objectives of this study were to investigate the impact of two application methods of kinesio taping on gait initiation (GI) profile of athletes with and without functional ankle instability (FAI): 1) distal (applied on the peroneus longus muscle), 2) proximal-distal (applied on gluteus medius and peroneus longus muscles). Methods. Experiment consisted of a test-retest study of the immediate-term effects of the two methods of kinesio taping in two separate weeks on GI profile in 15 athletes with FAI and 15 healthy athletes. Participants performed bare feet GI on a force plate which captured center of pressure (COP). The GI profile was separated into three phases (anticipatory, weight transfer, and locomotive) and two directions (anteroposterior, mediolateral). The averages of 3 trials were used for analyses. Multifactorial repeated measure ANOVA were used for comparison of the two application methods and both group of participants. Results. There weren't any significant result for factor effect and group effect for all of the 9 variables of the study (P > 0.05). Also, we did not observe any significant group by factor interaction effects (P > 0.05), indicating that each group respond to the interventions in a similar pattern. Conclusion. The distal or proximal-distal application of kinesio taping had no impact on GI profile of athletes with and without FAI. We concluded that it is better to assess the long-term effects of kinesio taping in the ore challenging environment and tasks.

“…These results appear to follow the trend set by Briem et al 18 and Correia et al . 20 Moreover, the tape increased the latency when compared with barefoot, however, this was not of significance (p<0.074). This is likely to be due to the disruption of the sensory input at the plantar surface.…”

BackgroundLateral ankle sprain is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries, particularly among the sporting population. Due to such prevalence, many interventions have been tried to prevent initial, or further, ankle sprains. Current research shows that the use of traditional athletic tape can reduce the incidence of sprain recurrence, but this may be at a cost to athletic performance through restriction of motion. Kinesiology tape, which has become increasingly popular, is elastic in nature, and it is proposed by the manufacturers that it can correct ligament damage. Kinesiology tape, therefore, may be able to improve stability and reduce ankle sprain occurrence while overcoming the problems of traditional tape.AimTo assess the effect of kinesiology tape on ankle stability.Methods27 healthy individuals were recruited, and electromyography (EMG) measurements were recorded from the peroneus longus and tibialis anterior muscles. Recordings were taken from the muscles of the dominant leg during induced sudden ankle inversion perturbations using a custom-made tilting platform system. This was performed with and without using kinesiology tape and shoes, creating four different test conditions: barefoot(without tape), shoe(without tape), barefoot(with tape) and shoe(with tape). For each test condition, the peak muscle activity, average muscle activity and the muscle latency were calculated.ResultsNo significant difference (p>0.05) was found by using the kinesiology tape on any of the measured variables while the wearing of shoes significantly increased all the variables.ConclusionKinesiology tape has no effect on ankle stability and is unable to nullify the detrimental effects that shoes appear to have.

“…Apart from the muscle spindles, it is well known that cutaneous receptors are also involved in proprioception 28 . It is rational to admit that this type of nervous endings, due to their superficial localisation, might experience more cooling than muscle receptors and, therefore, their afferent signals generated during movement could be blocked or suffer dysfunctions, contributing to impair JPS and TTDPM.…”

Context: A common intervention used by clinicians, cryotherapy poses several benefits in managing acute injuries. However, cooling muscle tissue can interfere with muscular properties and the sensory-motor system. Objective: The aim of this study was analyse the influence of cryotherapy with a crushed-ice pack on shoulder proprioception concerning joint position sense, force sense, the threshold for detecting passive movement, and maximal force "The Acute Effect of Cryotherapy on Muscle Strength and Shoulder Proprioception" by Torres R et al.
