In fact, tape is applied to the skin surface. Despite the widespread application of this technology, evidence regarding its functional mechanisms remains inconsistent. There are various approaches to Kinesio taping such as “muscle application,” “fascial application,” and “space tape,” among others. But there is also a meta-analyses showing short-term kineso taping in reducing pain and increasing function in myofascial pain syndrome, shoulder impingement syndrome, patellofemoral pain syndrome is not significantly better than conventional physical therapy. In recent years, studies have shown that as a simple and effective adjuvant therapy for musculoskeletal diseases, kinesio taping has the effect of reducing pain and is a convenient choice for low back pain intervention. Traditional theories believe that it has various functions such as reducing pain, relaxing muscles, guiding fascia, and increasing proprioception.
Kinesio tape was first used in the sports field since the 1970s.

Kinesio taping is a non-invasive treatment technique in which an elastic patch is applied to the skin in a specific way to produce biomechanical and neurophysiological effects that are conducive to musculoskeletal system function and motion. Small three-dimensional motion capture systems combined with inverse finite element analysis methods have been successfully used for the in vivo measurement of small-scale deformation of human skin. It records the motion of a moving object in the form of an image through several video capture devices arranged in space and then uses a computer to process the image data to obtain the spatial coordinates (X, Y, Z) of the different objects in different units of time measurement. Many low-invasive or non-destructive in vivo testing methods have been widely used, including small-scale motion analysis techniques such as motion capture systems, which are technical devices used to accurately measure the motion of a moving object in three dimensions. The development of skin viscoelasticity measurement techniques has evolved from ex vivo to in vivo and from static to dynamic loading. Many physiological functions of the skin depend on its biomechanical properties, such as viscoelasticity, tension, and pressure resistance. The skin is the largest organ of the human body and plays an important role in body functions, such as sensation, thermoregulation, and organism protection. KT may apply a pre-stress in the biomechanics of the skin. However, the change in taping direction showed no significant effects on skin deformation during exercise. Limb position during taping may influence the KT’s effects. I-tape, natural tension taping can shorten the skin distance between the two ends of the tape. The usage of the KT had an effect on the biomechanical changes of the skin, resulting in changes in skin deformation. L0 and L1 were both longer in the stretched position than in the rest position L11 also showed this trend. During right knee flexion and extension, total length, L0, and spacing lengths, L1, L6, and L11, were longer in the NT group than in all other groups. Resultsĭuring right knee flexion and extension in the seated position in 10 subjects, all skin segment deformations produced significant differences between intervention groups ( P < 0.05), except for L1 during flexion ( P = 0.07). A Qualisys infrared high-speed three-dimensional spatial coordinate capture system was used to observe changes in the length of the observed skin surface on the right anterior thigh during right knee flexion and extension in the sitting position. Subjects were treated with no KT (NT), resting positive taping (RPT), resting negative taping (RNT), stretching positive taping (SPT), and stretching negative taping (SNT). The skin observation area on the anterior side of the right thigh of the subjects was divided into 11 segments by 12 reflective marker points for distance measurement, from the distal knee to the proximal knee, the length of the interval was L1 to L11, and the total length was L0. Ten healthy and pain-free subjects (4 males, 6 females) were recruited in this study. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Kinesio taping and taping methods on skin deformation during knee joint flexion and extension motion and further explore its possible functional mechanisms. So exploring the interaction between the tape and the skin and analyzing its biomechanical influence may be an effective way to explore the mechanism of the tape.
The kinesio tape works by sticking to the skin surface. Kinesio Taping (KT) is proved useful to many musculoskeletal disorders.
