Lower-leg Kinesio Tape Reduces Rate of Loading in Participants with Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome

Context
Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is an overuse injury occurring among the physically active. Linked to increased strain on the medial tendons of the ankle, studies emphasize controlling medial foot loading in the management of this condition. Kinesio taping (KT) has gained popularity for treating musculoskeletal pathologies; however, its effect on MTSS remains uninvestigated. This study aimed to determine if healthy participants and patients with current or previous history of MTSS differ in the rate of loading, and if KT affects plantar pressures in these participants.
Methods
Twenty healthy participants and 20 participants with current or previous history of MTSS were recruited and walked across a plantar pressure mat prior to KT application, immediately after application, and after 24-hours of continued use. Time-to-peak force was measured in 6 foot areas and compared across groups and conditions.
Results
ANOVA revealed a significant interaction between group, condition, and foot area (F=1.990, p=0.033).MTSS participants presented with lower medial midfoot time-to-peak force before tape application (95%CI: 0.014 to 0.160%, p=0.021) that significantly increased following tape application (p<0.05).
Conclusions
These results suggest that KT decreases the rate of medial loading in MTSS patients. Future research might assess mechanisms by which this effect is achieved.

I traveling and can't access full paper. Can anyone with access have a look at the paper and see how they actually did the strapping? Was it an "inversion" type traditional strapping with pretty colored tape or was it more "flexible" in the tradition of what is generally considered to be "kinesio taping"

always found strapping a pain in the ass

A study to compare the effect of elastic anti pronation
taping technique versus space correction taping
technique in female subjects with medial tibial stress
syndrome

National Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics 2020; 4(3): 15-18

In a foot that is over pronated the movement of the limb takes more energy to propel the weight of the
body. This can cause foot and leg fatigue secondary to overuse of muscles. Pes planus feet have been
associated with tibialis posterior. One of the primary functions of the tibialis posterior is to contract
eccentrically throughout the deceleration phase of foot pronation. If it is dysfunctional it cannot
effectively control the force that must be transferred from foot to the lower leg. Leading to its instability
control the falling of the arch. Sixty Subjects were selected based on Inclusive and exclusive criteria and
an informed consent was taken from the subjects. Pre and post treatment pain sensitivity was taken as
perceived by the visual analogue scale. Pre and post treatment score of range of motion of ankle dorsi
flexion was taken prior to the treatment by Goniometer.

Efficacy of Kinesiology Taping on the Management of Shin Splints: A Systematic Review
Suimin Guo, Peizhen Liu, Beibei Feng, Yangfan Xu & Yuling Wang
The Physician and Sportsmedicine: 27 Jun 2021

Shin splint is one of the most common sports injuries after strenuous exercise. Kinesiology taping (KT) is a popular non-invasive remedy used in sports-related disorders, with the potential effects of relieving pain, facilitating proprioception, modulating muscle activation and correcting abnormal movement patterns. However, the exact efficacy of KT on shin splints is still unknown, and previous findings are inconsistent. Hence, this study aimed to conduct a systematic review to evaluate the current status of relevant evidence on its efficacy. The review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines, and a systematic search of the literature was conducted in December 2020. Electronic databases, Embase, Scopus, Medline, Web of Science, PubMed and Biomed Central were searched for the identification of pertinent studies with pre-defined key terms on shin splints and KT. Four studies with a total sample size of 141 participants were included and analysed. Two studies had within-subject designs, whereas the other two were randomised clinical trials. Although the positive results of KT were reported by the studies, methodological quality varied from poor to moderate according to the Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scale or Non-Randomised Studies-of Interventions. In conclusion, this review revealed that the efficacy of KT on shin splints remains not clear. Evidence that supports its effectiveness in individuals with shin splints is currently limited. Further studies with good methodological quality and study design are warranted.

A review of the therapeutic and protective effects of Kinesio taping and foot orthosis in patients with medial tibial stress syndrome
Aynollah Naderi Shahabeddin Bagheri
SOurce

Background and Aims: Numerous treatment modalities have been suggested for patients with MTSS, but the effectiveness of different interventions is not yet known. Therefore, this study aimed to provide a systematic review of the therapeutic efficacy of Kinesio taping and foot orthosis for patients with MTSS

Materials and Methods: This review summarizes the research that has been published about the effect of Kinesio taping and foot orthosis on clinical and functional outcomes of patients with MTSS. Articles were searched using selected keywords in Embase, Scopus, Medline, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science, Biomed Central, and PubMed databases from inception to 2021. After deleting duplicate and unrelated articles, the full text of 11 articles was received from the databases. The full text of these articles was carefully reviewed by the researcher and the necessary information was extracted.

Results: According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, only 9 articles were suitable for the present review study, of which 5 articles examined the effectiveness of Kinesio tape and 4 articles the effectiveness of plantar orthosis for people with MTSS. Previous studies showed that the use of antipruritic Kinesio taping can help to redact the peak plantar pressure, resulting in reducing the pain and improving the function of the patients with MTSS. Additionally, using the arch support foot orthosis can help to normalize pressure distribution patterns under the foot and reduce the foot contact time that result in faster pain relief and the physical limitations caused by the symptoms.

Conclusion: Therefore, anti-pronation KT and foot orthosis can be used as a therapeutic modality in a rehabilitation program to normalize the pattern of pressure distribution under the foot, reduce the pain and eliminate physical limitations caused by symptoms in the individuals with MTSS.
