Purpose: Stenosing tenosynovitis is a stenosing condition of the sheath of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis tendons at the radial styloid process. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of kinesio taping on the pain and grip power in patients with de Quervain’s disease.
Methods: 20 female with de Quervain’s disease was recruited. This procedure was performed with or without taping procedure. Pain levels were assessed using a visual analogue scale, and spherical and pinch grip powers were assessed using a dynamometer.
Results: 1. Resting pain, Finkelstein test pain, and Tenderness using VAS scale was showed significantly reduced after taping application(p<0.01). 2. Spherical grip power using dynamometer was showed significantly increased after taping application(p<0.01). 3. Pinch grip power using dynamometer was showed significantly increased after taping application(p<0.01).
Conclusions: So we thought that kinesio taping therapy had effects on the pain release and grip power increasing to the small or local muscle groups and joints.
