Usability and Efficiency of Kinesio Taping in Physiotherapy for Prevention of Pain
Keywords:
kinesio tape, physiotherapy, pain, taping techniques, rehabilitationAbstract
The therapeutic procedure with kinesio tapes has become a widely used method in rehabilitation for the prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. In order to determine the influence of kinesio tape on the reduction of pain caused by various conditions of the disease, we carried out a review of scientific literature published in the period 2008-2017. Scientific articles were researched in Cobbiss, Google Scholar, Medline and Pubmed databases. Using different keyword combinations and pre-defined inclusion criteria, we analysed 20 studies. In 14 studies, the pain decreased with the use of the kinesio tape; in two cases, there was a decrease in pain, but the changes had a small clinical value, while in the remaining four studies, there was no reduction in pain. Since a small reduction in pain contributes to greater individual activity, improved well-being and thus higher quality of life, the use of kinesio tape in physiotherapy for pain prevention is advisable, but of course, more research is needed in the future.
