Abstract

Background and aim: Muscle strength is a key component of an athlete’s performance and may be influenced by taping. Kinesio Taping (KT) is an elastic therapeutic tape used to enhance muscle function. KT has become increasingly popular amongst athletes. The profile of KT was raised after it was first introduced in 2008 Olympic Games. Despite the increasing use of KT in clinical practice, uncertainty remains regarding its true merit. The present systematic review evaluates the evidence for the effectiveness of KT in improving muscle strength.Materials and Methods: PEDro, Cochrane Library, Medline, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Scopus, Up to Date, and Pubmed databases were searched from 2000 to 2015 in studies published only in English language. The combination of the terms KINESIOLOGY TAPE, KINESIO TAPE, ELASTIC TAPE, TAPE AND MUSCLE, as well as TAPE AND STRENGTH were used in the search.Results: Among 26 obtained studies, 21 most-related studies were selected. Based on the results reported, these studies were divided into two groups: 1. the studies with the results suggesting that KINESIO TAPE increases the muscle strength, and 2. the studies with the results suggesting that KINESIO TAPE dose not increase the muscle strength.Conclusion: Kinesiotape is not effective in changing the height of the jump and functional tests but can alter the timing of muscle activity and reduce the time to achieve maximum muscle activity. KINESIO TAPE effect on EMG activity and muscle strength depends on the use of kinesiotape and can be effective if used in the right circumstances, yet exactly how to use it requires further high quality studies.
