Summary

We explored the effect of Kinesio taping with different tension on hand force control, joint proprioception, reaction time and brain activity.

Healthy participants randomly received three wrist/finger flexor taping conditions: (1) taping with 20% additional tension (taping20), (2) taping with neutral tension (tapingN), and (3) without taping (control). Grip force, wrist joint angle, electroencephalogram and electromyogram were recorded during proprioception and force control tasks to determine the effects of Kinesio taping on sensorimotor control.

Interventions

OTHER

Kinesio tape

Kinesio tape (kinesio taping; kinesio holding corporation,USA) was placed on the skin above muscle belly of finger flexor. There were three types of taping: "Taping20 condition" - tape was pulled from the wrist to the proximal forearm. The two ends of the tape (\~5 cm) were held by the therapist and the middle area was pulled 20% additional tension. "TapingN condition" - tape was pulled with neutral tension. "Control condition" - no taping.
