Effect of Kinesio taping on wrist proprioception in healthy subjects: A randomized clinical trial.
Although the use of KT has increased considerably in the clinical practice in the last years, there is limited evidence about the effects of its application in proprioception. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of KT on joint position sense and force sense on the wrist of healthy subj...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of KT on joint position sense and force sense on the wrist of healthy subjects. Fifty-four subjects were analyzed in a randomized, crossover, single-blind study design. To determine the force sense, the subjects had to reach 50% of their maximum grip force. Wrist joint position sense was assessed during active repositioning tests at the target angles of 30° flexion and extension of wrist. A digital dynamometer was used to determine the sense of force and a digital goniometer was used to determine the joint position sense. Subjects were evaluated with KT (I- strip on ventral aspect of forearms from origin to insertion) and placebo (an inelastic tape was applied following the same procedure as KT). No significant differences have been found in the force sense, neither in the comparisons between control and interventions (p =0.286), nor between pre and post-intervention (p =0.111). For wrist joint position sense, a statistically significant effect (p < 0.05) was found at 30º of extension between the control and experimental group in favor of the control group. The application of KT did not produce changes in FS and only caused a significant improvement in JPS in extension (30º). The results appear to indicate that the application of KT to improve proprioception in healthy subjects should be reconsidered. • Kinesio tape applied on forearm did not improve force sense in healthy subjects. • Kinesio tape did not improve wrist joint position sense in healthy subjects. • The effect of Kinesio tape may be time-dependent. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research randomized controlled trial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
