Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to find the effectiveness of the interventio nof kinesio-taping in recovery o f musculoskeletal disorders. Also, the study suggests some methodological issues identified in this qualitative systematic review.
Method: A qualitative systematic review design was applied. DBpia and KISS were searched through January 2022 (keywords: taping, sports taping, balance taping, and kinesio taping). The papers meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria by five steps were critically appraised for general methodological quality.
Results: Two (4%) out of 55 identified papers were accepted to find the effect of the intervention of kinesio- taping on recovery from musculoskeletal disorders: one paper for patients with stroke and the other one for elderly people with knee pain. Both studies consistently found reduced pain in the short term. Also, the level of severity for subluxation of the shoulder joint ha sdecreased. Furthermore, the degree of knee flexion has increased. However, we did not find any negative efefcts of the intervention of kinesio-taping on recovery from musculoskeletal disorders.
Conclusion: There is limited evidence to suggest that kinesio-taping has a positive role in reducing pain, improving subluxation of the shoulder, and flexion of the knee joint in people with musculoskeletal disorders.
These findings are about short-term effect. However, we did not find a long-term effect. More studies are required with a highly recognized methodological design.
