BACKGROUND
The existing body of kinesiology tape (KT) research reveals inconsistent results which challenges the efficacy of the intervention. Understanding professional beliefs and KT clinical application might provide insight for future research and development of evidence-based guidelines.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to survey and document the beliefs and clinical application methods of KT among healthcare professionals in the United States.
DESIGN
Cross-sectional survey study.
METHODS
A 30-question online survey was emailed to members of the National Athletic Trainers Association, Academy of Orthopedic Physical Therapy, and American Academy of Sports Physical Therapy. Professionals were also informed through a recruitment post in different private healthcare Facebook groups.
RESULTS
One thousand and eighty-three respondents completed the survey. Most respondents used KT for post-injury treatment (74%), pain modulation (67%), and neuro-sensory feedback (60%). Most believed that KT stimulates skin mechanoreceptors (77%), improve local circulation (69%), and modulates pain (60%). Some respondents believed KT only created a placebo effect (40%) and use it for such therapeutic purposes (58%). Most used a standard uncut roll (67%) in black (71%) or beige (66%). Most respondents did not use any specialty pre-cut tape (83%), infused tape (99.54%), or a topical analgesic with tape (65%). The most common tape tension lengths used by respondents were 50% tension (47%) and 25% (25%) tension. Patient reported outcomes (80%) were the most common clinical measures. Most respondents provided skin prep (64%) and tape removal (77%) instructions. Some did not provide any skin prep (36%) or tape removal (23%) instruction. The average recommended times to wear KT were two to three days (60%). The maximum times ranged from two to five days (81%).
CONCLUSION
This survey provides insight into how professionals use KT and highlights the gap between research and practice. Future research should address these gaps to better determine evidence-based guidelines.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE
背景
现有的肌内效贴布（KT）研究结果不一致，这对该干预措施的疗效提出了挑战。了解专业人士的信念和KT的临床应用可能为未来基于证据的指南的研究和开发提供见解。
目的
本研究的目的是调查并记录美国医疗保健专业人员对KT的信念和临床应用方法。
设计
横断面调查研究。
方法
通过电子邮件向国家运动训练协会、骨科物理治疗学会和美国运动物理治疗学会的成员发送了一份包含30个问题的在线调查问卷。专业人员也通过不同的私人医疗保健Facebook群组中的招聘帖子得知了该调查。
结果
1083名受访者完成了调查。大多数受访者将KT用于损伤后治疗（74%）、疼痛调节（67%）和神经感觉反馈（60%）。大多数人认为KT能刺激皮肤机械感受器（77%）、改善局部循环（69%）和调节疼痛（60%）。一些受访者认为KT仅产生安慰剂效应（40%）并将其用于此类治疗目的（58%）。大多数人使用标准未切割卷带（67%），颜色为黑色（71%）或米色（66%）。大多数受访者不使用任何特殊预切割胶带（83%）、注入胶带（99.54%）或带局部镇痛药的胶带（65%）。受访者最常使用的胶带张力长度为50%张力（47%）和25%张力（25%）。患者报告的结果（80%）是最常见的临床测量指标。大多数受访者提供皮肤准备（64%）和胶带去除（77%）说明。一些人不提供任何皮肤准备（36%）或胶带去除（23%）说明。KT的平均推荐佩戴时间为两到三天（60%）。最长时间范围为两到五天（81%）。
结论
本次调查深入了解了专业人员如何使用KT，并突出了研究与实践之间的差距。未来的研究应解决这些差距，以更好地确定基于证据的指南。
证据水平
