Aim: The objective of this narrative review was to assess the effects of Kinesio-Taping in Lateral Epicondylitis. Methods: A comprehensive search of already published relevant articles only from medical databases like Google Scholar, PubMed and ScienceDirect was carried out for obtaining the same from the year 2014-2019. Background: Lateral epicondylitis is a familiar musculoskeletal disorder that primarily affects the extensors of the wrist. Kinesio-taping (KT) is a newer generation taping technique that aid's the body’s healing process whilst supporting and giving stability to the muscles and joints without hindering the range of motion of the body. Conclusion: The current review recognises the need for Kinesio-Taping in individuals with Lateral Epicondylitis as it has shown to enhance the functionality of the wrists and reduce pain. Limitations:  More in-depth studies are to be conducted to find out the mechanism behind Kinesio-Taping.

Purpose: There are several treatments available for the management of lateral epicondylitis, but there is a dearth of clinical trials compared to the efficacy of a forearm band over supportive elbow taping technique as an adjunct measure in the management of lateral epicondylitis. Materials and Methods: Totally 45 subjects with the mean age of 30±5 years diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis participated in the study based upon inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects were randomly allocated to three groups (n = 15 in each); Group-A (forearm band), Group-B (elbow taping) and Group-C (control), provided with a forearm band, supportive elbow taping technique and as a control group, respectively, although all groups received the conventional physiotherapy in addition to these adjunct measures. The outcome measurements included pain-free grip strength and functional improvement, assessed by using hand-held dynamometer and patient-rated forearm evaluation questionnaire (PRFEQ), respectively. Total duration of study was four weeks. Results: Although all the groups showed improvement with respect to increase in the pain-free grip strength and enhancement of functional independence, however, Group-A has shown the maximum improvement followed by Group-B which in turn proved to be more effective than conventional physiotherapy alone. Conclusion: The application of the forearm band produced a significant increase in the grip strength and function as compared to the elbow taping and control groups. The study implies the potential use of a forearm band in the future in addition to the conventional therapy in the management of patients with lateral epicondylitis.

Introduction: In an era of ubiquitous computing, a considerable part of the population, regardless of age group, spend more time in a sitting position. Long­‍‑term, static loading of the spine increases muscle tension, leading to the occurrence of pain. Physiotherapy is recommended as primary and secondary prevention of spinal pain symptoms. The Kinesiology Taping Method is one of the many special methods of physiotherapy which is used during the episodes of back pain in the lumbosacral region. This method consists in sticking on a special tape, which is made of stretch cotton similar to human skin, using a variety of techniques for patch application. The present study evaluated the effect of the application of the Kinesiology Taping technique for muscle mobility in the lumbar spine and the subjective perception of pain intensity.Material and methods: The study group consisted of 100 patients (89 women and 11 men) who experienced pain in the lumbar spine. To assess the mobility of the lumbar spine the Schober test was used. The subjective sensation of pain was assessed using the VAS (visual analogue scale). Measurements were taken four times: before gluing applications, immediately after taping, 7 days after application of the patch, and immediately after its removal.Results: In response to the use of therapy, an increase of mobility of the lumbar spine in flexion front and back, and reduced pain was shown.Conclusions: Application of the muscle kinesiology taping technique is an effective method in reducing pain and increasing mobility of the lumbar spine.

The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of kinesio taping and stretching exercises in contemporary dancers with chronic shin splints. In the present study, purposively review the published evidence regarding risk factor associated with chronic shin splints in contemporary dancers, assess the effectiveness of kinesio taping, and stretching exercises, of the 45 citations identified, we emphasised results of the nine reports that compare the effect of kinesio taping method to prevent shin splints, twenty-three reports on the effect of shin splints in contemporary  dancers, seventeen reports the effect of stretching exercises in shin splints, and two reports the effect of both kinesis taping and stretching exercises on contemporary dancers with repetitive stress and overused activities. The result of the kinesio taping and stretching exercises programs in contemporary dancers with chronic shin splints have undergone assessment of controlled trials. There is no strong support for any of these interventions, and each of four control trials is limited methodologically. The most encouraging evidence for effective prevention of chronic shin splints involves the use of stretching exercise programs. However, serious flaws in study design and implementation constraints the work in this field thus far.

Abstract Background: Metatarsalgia is a common foot condition. The metatarsophalangeal stabilizing taping technique described by Yu et al. has shown good clinical results as a provisional treatment in propulsive metatarsalgia. 35 The Fixtoe Device®, a novel orthopedic device, intends to simulate stabilizing tape. However, to date, there is no evidence of its effectiveness.Methods: The aim of this study was to assess plantar pressure changes using the Fixtoe Device®, in comparison with the traditional method (stabilizing tape) in a young, healthy sample thorough a cross-sectional study. Maximal pressure (Kpa) and pressure-time integral (Kpa/s) in the second metatarsal head were measured in twenty-four healthy volunteers. Registers were taken in four different conditions: barefoot, traditional stabilizing tape, Fixtoe Device® without metatarsal pad, and Fixtoe Device® with metatarsal pad. Results: Mean second metatarsal head maximal pressure and mean pressure-time integral showed statistical difference among the four analyzed conditions (p < 0.0001 in both cases). The improvement in maximal pressure and pressure-time integral obtained in each intervention also showed significance (p < 0.0001 in both cases). Comparing the improvement of the Fixtoe Device® with and without metatarsal pad with that of tape condition showed a moderate to high and moderate effect size for both peak pressure and pressure-time integral reduction.Conclusions: The Fixtoe Device® reduces median maximal pressure and median pressure-time integral under the second metatarsal head in healthy young individuals. The Fixtoe Device® shows higher effectiveness than the traditional second metatarsophalangeal joint stabilizing taping technique. To our knowledge, this is the first investigation proving the effectiveness of the recently developed Fixtoe Device® in terms of plantar pressure modification, which leads the way to its use in clinics.

Methodology: This study was a Quasi Experimental Trial, conducted at Allied hospital and Javeed Medical complex Faisalabad. A sample size of 30 females with anterior innominate dysfunction meeting the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups. Group A was treated with therapeutic ultrasound, Mulligan mobilization technique and kinesio taping technique and group B was treated with therapeutic ultrasound and Mulligan mobilization technique. Data was taken at first day and after 10 days to measure pain and disability by Visual analogue scale and Modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (MODQ). Data analysis was done through the SPSS 20. Result: Mean age of group A and B was 32.80±6.02, 34.20±6.51 respectively. Both groups showed significant improvement in pain and disability after the treatment in term of VAS and MODQ respectively. In comparison of two groups, group A showed better improvement in disability MODQ (p=0.004) as compared to VAS (p=0.20). Conclusion: Both Mulligan mobilization along with Kineso tex tape and Mulligan mobilization alone are effective in reducing pain and disability. Mulligan mobilization along with Kinesio tex tape showed significantly better improvement in pain and disability as compared to Mulligan mobilization alone.

Demodicosis is a parasitic disease which is predilected in skin. Demodicosis in dogs may present local or general clinical symptoms. The success of demodicosis treatment is highly dependent on dog immune conditions, nutritional status, disease status, and routine treatment. The success of the treatment is also affected by the accuracy in the diagnostic technique used. The purpose of this study was to compare the three diagnostic skin examination techniques namely scraping, trichogram, and taping to diagnose cases of demodicosis. A total of 20 dog samples was taken from dog patients that came to Bali Veterinary Clinic, at Prerenan, Badung, Bali, with symptoms of itching, hair loss, skin redness, scale, and hyperpigmentation. Sampling was done by technique of scraping, trichogram, and taping. Scraping technique was done by scraping the skin, trichogram technique was done by pulling hair, and taping technique was done by attaching the tape. The result of Demodex mite isolation from the three diagnostic techniques performed showed scraping technique 5.45 ± 1.05; trichogram technique 1.10 ± 0.91; and taping technique 3.50 ± 0.83 dogs. Its Concluded that scraping technique provides the best diagnostic value for the isolation of Demodex mites compared to the other two.
