New Uses for Athletic Taping

Case Study Full Name: New Uses for Athletic Taping - PTs and ATCs Add Kinesiology Tape to Their Tool Kits By: Greg Thompson   Abstracts: After a decade of teaching and treating, Martin and Huber have seen the anecdotal evidence pile up regarding the therapeutic effectiveness of kinesiology taping. However, both acknowledged that in today's evidence-based environment, more research is needed to fully validate its beneficial impact. They welcome formal studies and are confident that kinesiology taping will perform well. "I have been working with patients who have Lou Gehrig's disease on issues such as head control and respiratory problems," said Huber. "Topics are limitless at this point, and as we learn more I am confident the applications will only expand."
