Abstract
Background. Kinesilogy Tape (KT) is widely used in patients with muscular disorders and pain. Objectives. To present the current body of knowledge on KT as a treatment method in patients with muscular disorders and pain. Design. Systematic review. Population. Patients with musculoskeletal disorders and pain. in whom KT was used.
Methods The papers were identified on the basis of term searches in digital research databases (PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CCTR), EMBASE Excerpta Medica, and Google Scholar). On the basis of the review of the available 152 research articles, 27 papers on muscular disorders and pain disorders were selected. Two of the authors of this review, working independently, selected the papers to be included in the analyzed sample, isolated the data, performed an assessment of the risk of bias, and assessed the quality of the evidence for the main effects using the IVS internal validity score (PEDro) approach. A simplified version of the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (OCEBM) system was used to evaluate the evidence. Results. There are too few prospective, controlled randomized trials on KT that include a sufficiently large cohort. Only few of the reviewed papers that discuss the principles of KT meet the criteria of scientifically rigorous research. Conclusions. There is a need for further clinical trials on the effectiveness of the use of KT method.
Clinical rehabilitation impact. We found significant quality evidence to support the use of KT in clinical practice in patients with disorders of the musculoskeletal system (and in sports therapy).

Abstract

Diagnosis of human body posture and assessment of functionality, in physiotherapeutic procedures, is mainly carried out by viewing methods and by photogrammetric or videogrammetric methods, which do not provide angular measurements, anthropometric, time-space measurements, etc. Highly specialized imaging tests are medical procedures, which significantly affects their availability. Also, in terms of their economics, application and invasiveness. Thus, their purpose is significantly limited in the initial diagnostics process, and in particular in current physiotherapeutic assessment.
In the world, for over 30 years, gait, balance, selected biomechanics parameters and body functionality have been evaluated by pedobarography. However, other scientific studies of the authors indicate that the method is very little known in Poland by medical staff. Despite the fact that it has been included in the list of guaranteed benefits since 2011, no procedures for its implementation have been specified. An important aspect of pedobarography is the consistency of its directions of use with the standards of training the profession of a physiotherapist. The obvious and logical conclusion is that the lack of knowledge in the area of the method does not allow its development. An important issue is to assess whether education standards are directly consistent with the directions of pedobarography in the rehabilitation process.

Abstract
Changes resulting from incorrect plantar foot pressure distribution can lead to degenerative changes of hard and soft tissues. Especially clear connection can be noticed between excessive pressure on feet and occurrence of ulcers and chronic wounds, especially those secondary to diabetes and motor and sensory neuropathy. Pedobarography is widely used to assess the value as well as time and space parameters of pressure when standing and walking. This means that this procedure can prove useful in many fields, including orthopaedics, rehabilitation, orthopaedic appliances as well as in traumatology and treating bad posture.
Pedobarography is a diagnostic procedure that is not highly specialist (besides physicians, it can be performed by non-physician practitioners) that is why it can be used by specialists of many fields. In most countries where prophylactics of feet disorders, especially the diabetic foot syndrome, is highly developed, pedobarography is one of the basic diagnostic procedures of the guaranteed healthcare services. In Poland, it is included in the list of guaranteed healthcare benefits of the National Health Found since 2011. However, there are grounds to think that pedobarography is not commonly used, mainly due to insufficient knowledge of medical staff on this method. Considering the fact that this diagnostic procedure plays an important role in preventing disorders resulting from incorrect pressure migration, it is crucial to analyse directions of its application and factors influencing its development. The aim of this paper was to assess availability of pedobarography and to analyse factors facilitating and limiting its development.

Abstract

Considering the serious nature of complications pertaining to the trauma of the glenohumeral joint, the priority is to address the underlying cause as well as symptoms. This research was conducted in order to evaluate the effectiveness of localized cryotherapy and the PNF method on the mobility of the glenohumeral joint, in patients presenting with subacromial impingement syndrome. Each group (test and control) consisted of 18 patients. Patients in the test group were subjected to treatment of local cryotherapy and PNF therapy in the treatment of the shoulder girdle for fifteen days whilst the control group were treated with local cryotherapy procedures for the duration. There is little doubt that local cryotherapy is and effective treatment for various kinds of dysfunction however when combined with other treatment methods (such as PNF) a better outcome is achieved.

Ż. Ciosek, Ł. Kopacz, K. Kot, I. Rotter, Z. Śliwiński, M. Kiljański, D. Lietz-Kijak – The influence of Kinesiology Taping method in conjunction with local cryotherapy on the range of motion and low-back pain in patients with degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. FP 2017; 17(2); 36-46

Abstract

Introduction. The back pain is frequently caused by spine ligament weakness, changes associated with intervertebral joints, overload, degenerative disc disease and degeneration in the elderly. One of the most crucial results of the local cryotherapy on the surgical area is an analgesic effect. Kinesiology Taping method is based on the alignment of muscle tone on the application area. This technique contributes to increase range of motion and muscle strength.
Material and methods. The study group included 90 patients with degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. They were from Rehabilitation Clinic in Szczecin. All subjects underwent the examination of mobility of the spine and were asked to rate their pain on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) on the first and fifteenth day of treatment. The I group was subjected to Kinesiology Taping method and local cryotherapy 15 times. We used fascia technique in accordance with the methodology. The patients from the II groups were also subjected to local cryotherapy. The III group consisted of the patients who were waiting for the treatment. They underwent the examination of mobility of the spine at the same time as the other groups.
Results. We observed significant pain reduction and significant improvement in motion of lumbar spine in the I group, which was subjected to Kinesiology Taping method in conjunction with local cryotherapy. In the group which was subjected to local cryotherapy, a slight improvement in motion of lumbar spine and in reduction in pain could be observed.
In the III group, which consisted of the patients awaiting the treatment, we observed no significant improvement in flexion or extension of lumbar spine.
Conclusions. Kinesiology Taping method in conjunction with local cryotherapy results in the improvement of lumbar spine mobility. The use of the Kinesiology Taping method together with local cryotherapy has a significant influence on decreasing the intensity of pain.  The application of local cryotherapy alone has significantly lower therapeutic effects than its application together with Kinesiology Taping method.
