We are constantly inspired by people’s achievements. The dedication and persistence to set ambitious goals, to meet challenges head on, and to emerge triumphant on the other side is worthy of everyone’s praise and respect. Oftentimes it awakens our own passion to achieve something remarkable and it demonstrates what we are truly capable of if […]
How might knee injury risk be reduced with Dynamic Taping? In the previous newsletter, the award winning study by Robinson et al which investigated the impact of Dynamic Taping to the hip on a Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS) group was reviewed. This study showed that Dynamic Taping, when applied in a shortened position to […]
Unlike other studies that have aimed to control inversion speed or load, Kodesh et al, in this study chose to tape in a way that created a plantar flexion force mimicking the posterior calf muscles. As the authors explain and reference, those with chronic ankle instability demonstrate “decreased plantar flexion and knee extension moments, decreased […]
There is increasing evidence demonstrating the benefits of Dynamic Taping in those with ankle instability. This recent study by Lukasz Pawik et al, provides further support. In their study: In Patients with Grade I and II Ankle Sprains, Dynamic Taping Seems to Be Helpful during Certain Tasks, Exercises and Tests in Selected Phases of the Rehabilitation […]
Dynamic Tape Global was very pleased to have been able to support the teams from ST7 at the recent AAU Nationals Volleyball tournament held in Florida. In addition to raising money and awareness for breast cancer we feel that it is essential to support women’s sport in particular. We know that late teenage years and into […]
Research on ‘Chronic Non-Specific Low Back Pain’ has always been one of my pet hates. Lack of a diagnosis does not a diagnosis make. Subjects within this classification can have wildly different contributing factors. The paper by Martin Rabey, Toby Hall et al from 2017 highlights this. Some may have nociceptive or inflammatory mediated pain […]
Ryan explores the importance of clinical reasoning to Dynamic Tape Global’s products and education
In this post, Ryan explores whether the effects of Dynamic Tape Global are mechanically or neurophysiologically driven.
Ryan Kendrick discusses the merits of randomised controlled trials
Welch L University of Chichester Institute of Sport, 2018. This study investigated the effect of applying one piece of 5cm wide Dynamic Tape Global to resist knee extension (in order to reduce eccentric demand on the hamstrings) prior to a DOMS inducing eccentric loading protocol using the Cybex. Pressure Pain Thresholds, Muscle Girth and Range of […]
Evans L University of the West of England, Hartpury College, 2018. Thesis provided. This preliminary study looked at the effect of Dynamic Taping on foot length, foot width and navicular drop. It also looked at time to stabilisation (TTS) following a counter-movement jump as an indication of any potentially beneficial or detrimental effects of taping […]
In further support of the technique above, this case was supplied to us from a clinician in the USA. The subject was suffering with pain in the region of the 2nd MTP joint with a history of Moreton’s Toe and surgery. The arch support technique resulted in a measurable reduction in loading through the symptomatic […]
Gazi University Institute of Health Sciences 2015 Dogan Fe This Masters Thesis project was provided to us. It investigated the effect of Kinesiotaping, Dynamic Taping and a Placebo Taping (using a rigid athletic tape) compared with no taping on dynamic balance and jump performance in 24 male professional soccer players. The results showed that Dynamic […]
Sales, CR Dissertação de Mestrado em Fisioterapia Desportiva apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa, Porto, 2013. https://bdigital.ufp.pt/bitstream/10284/5488/1/DM_30710.pdf 37 Judo athletes with non-specific knee pain were evaluated for static and dynamic balance, strength, flexibility and pain. Volunteers were submitted to the Standing Stork Test (SST), Y Balance Test (YBT), Four Square Step Test (FSST), Single Leg Hop […]
Farias B B, Lumini J A. Estudo de Caso, 2015 Fernando Pessoa University http://bdigital.ufp.pt/handle/10284/4765 This study looked at the effect of Dynamic Taping on gait and a range of other functional tasks in a stroke patient 5 years post stroke. Dynamic Tape Global resulted in improved angular values and velocity measured during walking, Timed Up and […]
A case report by De la Cruz Torres B, Albornoz Cabello M, Espejo Antúnez L. Rev Andal Med Deporte. 2016; 9(1):50–53. This study looked at kinematics and tensio-myography in a footballer with lower extremity pain believed to be influenced by the observed external tibial torsion. Dynamic Taping was applied to address this resulting in a […]
Toma Vasilescu Romania. This clinical case report investigates the effect of Dynamic Taping on a subject with Radial and Ulnar Nerve transection due to a knife injury. In this case there is no possibility of facilitating muscle activity as the nerves are not in tact. What we do see however is an immediate change in […]
Keith Cronin & Ryan Kendrick Denver, CO. This single case report does however help to shed some light on the mechanism. In this case, a subject with neurological deficit resulting in a partial foot drop (very weak dorsiflexion and eversion) was examined using the BodiTrak system which evaluates centre of pressure. He was asked to […]
Pereira A, Ribeiro V, Silva R, Zuin A. Revista Movimenta 2017; (4) 895. This study was presented at the VIII Congress Brasileiro e vi Congress Internacional da Sociedade Nacional de Fisioterapia Esportiva (SONAFE) in 2017. 20 elite male volleyballers between 16 and 22 years of age with a history of lateral ankle sprain were investigated. […]
Bittencourt N, Leite M, Zuin A, et al Br J Sports Med 2017; 51:297-298 This study which was presented at the International Olympic Committee Injury Prevention Conference evaluated the effect of a hip extension, abduction and external rotation Dynamic Taping technique on high frontal plane knee projection angle in elite female volleyballers during a single […]
