What is Kinesio® Tape?

What the research says…

Current Study
STATIC STABILIZERS:



Ball and socket joint
Large humeral head
and small glenoid
articular surface
Ligaments of GH joint
help provide more
stability
DYNAMIC STABILIZERS:


Rotator cuff
 Supraspinatus
 Infratspinatus
 Teres minor
 Subscapularis
Primary function to
guide and stabilize
glenohumeral joint
“Kinesio Taping® is extremely versatile in
its ability to re-educate the neuromuscular
system, promote lymphatic flow, reduce
pain, enhance performance, prevent injury,
and promote injury resolution”
~ Kenzo Kase

Kase et al. (1996) stated Kinesio® Tape should:

Create homeostasis and balance
 Increase fluid exchange
 Decrease edema
 Equalize temperature
Five main physiological effects:
 Skin
 Circulatory/lymph
 Fascia
 Joint
 Muscle
PROPOSED EFFECTS ON
MUSCLE:





Reduce pain
Increase range of
motion
Normalize
length/tension ratios to
create optimal force
Assist tissue recovery
Reduces fatigue
Halseth et al. (2004) studied
Kinesio® Tape and ankle
proprioception:


30 healthy participants
Pre and post test



With and without tape
Plantar flexion and
inversion
No significant change
Kase and Hashimoto (1998), Kinesio® Tape’s
effectiveness on blood flow



Doppler machine to measure blood flow,
before and after Kinesio® Tape of 9 subjects
No significant changes in healthy subjects
Significant changes found in subjects with
physical disorders
Fu et. al (2008) observed the effect of Kinesio®
Tape on muscle strength:
 14 healthy male and female athletes
 Quadriceps and hamstring strength
 Three conditions:
Without taping
 With taping
 With taping after 12 hours


Results were not significant
Thelen, Dauber, and
Stoneman (2008),Kinesio®
Tape effect on shoulder
pain:
 42 participants with RTC
tendonitis/impingement
 2 groups
 KT therapeutic/KT sham
 Self reported pain and pain
free AROM measured
 KT therapeutic group
showed immediate
improvement in ROM
Why?



Few studies involve the shoulder
Little research performed on the effects of
taping on the shoulder
Limited Kinesio® Tape research/Studies vary
on Kinesio® Tape claims

Objective

To see if the suggested Kinesio® Tape
protocol produces measurable effects
(increased ROM, increased force production,
increased blood flow) compared to Sham
Tape after muscle fatigue



Descriptive statistics and confidence intervals
3x5 (treatment x time) repeated measures
MANOVA with a follow up ANOVA and ttests
Analysis performed using SPSS, significance
level set at a priori to p=0.05

DIRT
 statistically significant effect both in group
and within subjects in all groups after Day 1
(F 1,15 = 14.832, p=0.002)

statistically significant effect within subjects
in Kinesio® Tape (F 4, 12 = 2.789, p= 0.026) and
Sham Tape (F 4, 12 = 2.789, p= 0.026)

DIRT
 Day 1: each group
showed a gradual
increase in temperature

Day 1 to Day 3:
 Kinesio® Tape
showed a 0.6°C
temperature increase
 Sham Tape showed a
0.2° C temperature
increase

AROM
AROM together showed no statistical
significance between group or within
subjects from Day 1 to Day 3
 External rotation showed statistical
significant effect with subjects from Day 1 to
Day 3 (F 4,12 = 2.097, p=0.036)


AROM
 Day 1 to 3:
 Kinesio®Tape showed 1.5° increase in
external rotation from Day 1 to Day 3
 Sham Tape showed 1.2 ° increase in
external rotation from Day 1 to Day 3

Force
 Internal rotation showed a statistical
significant effect between all groups with
tape after Day 1 (F 4, 12 = 4.44, p=0.20)
 Day 1:
 No tape showed 2.6 N decrease in force
 Kinesio® Tape showed 2.8 N decrease in
force
 Sham Tape showed 3.3 N decrease in force

Pain and Discomfort
 VAS showed a statistical significant effect
between all groups from Day 1 to Day 3 (F 2,
14= 4.183, p=0.038)
 Day 1 to Day 3:
 No tape .5 decrease in VAS score
 Kinesio® Tape .5 decrease in VAS score
 Sham Tape .3 decrease in VAS score


Primary goal was to determine if Kinesio®
Tape was effective in producing physiological
changes that improved shoulder joint and
muscle function after muscle fatigue
Results agree with previous research in which
Kinesio® Tape showed improvement in blood
flow and range of motion


Results also concurred with previous research
that showed no significant increase in muscular
activity with the use of Kinesio® Tape
Although results show statistical significance
they may not be clinically meaningful



Low sample size
Study may not have accurately depicted how
Kinesio® Tape would work during athletic
participation
Study solely looks at shoulder and may not be
indicative of how Kinesio® Tape would work
in other parts of the body



Limited research on the effects of Kinesio®
Tape and its uses
Study provided a small picture of the
physiological and functional effects of
Kinesio® Tape
No indication Kinesio® Tape showed greater
improvement in blood flow and AROM as
compared to the Sham Tape

flow, ROM, and force production in
