Kinesiology taping (KT) shows promise in dysphagia rehabilitation by improving swallowing function and muscle activity. This novel approach positively impacts larynx movement and overall quality of life for patients.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Rehabilitation Medicine
- Biomechanical Engineering
Background:
- Kinesiology taping (KT) is a novel therapeutic method for improving swallowing function.
- Clinical evidence for KT in dysphagia rehabilitation requires further clarification.
- This systematic review examines KT's application in dysphagia rehabilitation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review clinical studies on Kinesiology Taping (KT) for dysphagia rehabilitation.
- To analyze application guidelines for KT in swallowing rehabilitation.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search across 4 databases (2010-2023).
- Included 14 studies based on intervention, outcomes, and findings.
- Assessed methodological quality using the Downs and Black checklist.
Main Results:
- 14 articles reviewed (8 RCTs, 5 pre-post, 1 case study).
- KT applied to oral and pharyngeal muscles improved swallowing.
- Observed benefits include increased muscle activation, improved lip closure, reduced drooling, and enhanced quality of life.
Conclusions:
- Dysphagia rehabilitation with KT is a promising therapeutic approach.
- Expected positive impacts on larynx movement, muscle activity, and swallowing function.
- KT may aid in muscle hypertrophy and overall functional recovery.
