History

 Concept developed by

Kenzo Kase in the 70’s

 Introduced to NATA in

USA 1995

 Introduced to the Rehab

community in 1997

 Medicare coding in 2001

SLIDE 3

Properties of Tape

 Thickness and elasticity of skin  Elastic to 40% greater than resting length  Tape replicates hands on touch  Effective for up to 5 days of use

SLIDE 4

Properties of Tape

 Acrylic adhesive in a

wave like pattern

 Latex free  Heat activated adhesive

increase adhesion

SLIDE 5

Types of Tape

 Kinesio Tape- Kenzo Kase’s tape

 Precut and rolls  40% stretch

 Spider Tech- Kinesiology Tape

 Developed in Japan 1987- precut and rolls

 KT Tape- Dick’s  K- Active Tape  Rock Tape

 More cloth, more elastic, more adhesive  90% stretch  Don’t offer pre-cut due to variable sized individuals

SLIDE 6

Benefits of Kinesio Tape

Purpose-

 Improve circulation  Support muscles Improve healing Protect against re-injury

SLIDE 7

Benefits of Kinesio Tape

Versus traditional athletic tape-

Allows freedom of movement which

stimulates neural response

Allows flow of fluids to improve the

healing process

SLIDE 8

Benefits of Tape

 Analgesic effect-

 Stimulation of

mechanoreceptors

 Stimulate

interfascial nerves to reduce tone

SLIDE 9

Benefits of Tape

 Proprioceptive stimulation

 Sensory feedback to reduce or enhance ROM

 Reduced inflammation-

 Lift tissue and reduce interfascial congestion

 Lymphatic drainage

 Reduced tone in interfascial nerves reduces

autonomic response of blood vessels to decrease congestion

SLIDE 10

Benefits of Tape

Correct joint position and provide stability

Pressure into joint to stimulate

mechanoceptors

Positional facilitation

Reduce adhesions and scarring

Application along scar

SLIDE 11

Types of Application

 Y  I  X  Fan/Web  Star

SLIDE 12

Y applications

Used to surround

muscles

Useful to facilitate

r inhibit muscles

Applied longer than

target muscle

SLIDE 13

I application

Used for more acute

injuries in place of a Y

Covers a greater

surface area so more useful for pain and swelling

Used for alignment

correction

SLIDE 14

X application

Useful for muscles

with broad attachment areas such as the Rhomboid group

SLIDE 15

Fan application

Useful for edema

and lymphatic drainage

SLIDE 16

Types of Application

 Stretch of tape- percent refers to amount of

available stretch

 Full- 100%  Severe- 75%  Moderate- 50%  Light- 15-25%  Tape on paper is prestretched 10%

Less is better

SLIDE 17

Types of Application

Muscle Facilitation- Put muscle on

stretch

Origin to

insertion????????

Useful for acute or

chronically weak muscles

10-25% stretch

SLIDE 18

Types of Application

 Muscle Relaxation-  Put muscle on stretch

 useful for

verused/overactive

muscles

 Insertion to origin????????  0-10% stretch  Rebound of proprioceptive

feedback in direction

pposite

contraction???????

SLIDE 19

Types of Application

Principles for

swelling reduction

Tape over

edematous area

Direction is not

significant

Fan shape is most

common

0-10% stretch

SLIDE 20

Edema Control

SLIDE 21

Types of Application

 Joint function correction and pain control

 Adjust misalignment caused by spasm and tone  Normalizes muscle tone and fascial abnormalities  Improves ROM  Relieves pain  Proprioceptive re-education  50-100% stretch

 AKA Space Correction

SLIDE 22

Space Correction Plus

SLIDE 23

Application Guidelines

Remove hair- hand held shaver No oils or lotions Pat dry if wet Alcohol can prep oily skin

SLIDE 24

Application Guidelines

Measure appropriate length- allow for

desired stretch

Round edges Avoid touching adhesive and handling tape

excessively

Rub tape after application to increase

adherence

SLIDE 25
