How it works
Highlighted claims
- The most defensible explanation for how taping works is that it changes sensory input rather than mechanically fixing tissues. — Kinesiotape and Performance Program Management
- Tape on the skin can alter proprioception, body-position awareness, and how a person perceives or controls movement. — Kinesiotape and Performance Program Management
- A 2002 patellar taping study in Physical Therapy found that tape over the patella produced significant alterations in brain activity in multiple motor areas, including the basal ganglia. — Kinesiotape and Performance Program Management
- Taping can be used to reinforce a manual intervention by mimicking the sensory input that produced an immediate improvement, extending the effect after the hands-on portion ends. — Kinesiotape and Performance Program Management
- Tape strips placed around the tibia during movement retraining can provide a tactile cue that reinforces the motor pattern being trained rather than restricting motion. — Kinesiotape and Performance Program Management
- If the main effect of taping is sensory feedback, the exact direction, brand, or application style may matter less than whether the person experiences a useful change in symptoms or position awareness. — Kinesiotape and Performance Program Management
