Abstract

Aim: The objective of this narrative review was to assess the effects of Kinesio-Taping in Lateral Epicondylitis.

Background: Lateral epicondylitis is a familiar musculoskeletal disorder that primarily affects the extensors of the wrist. Kinesio-taping (KT) is a newer generation taping technique that aid's the body’s healing process whilst supporting and giving stability to the muscles and joints without hindering the range of motion of the body.

Conclusion: The current review recognises the need for Kinesio-Taping in individuals with Lateral Epicondylitis as it has shown to enhance the functionality of the wrists and reduce pain.

Limitations: More in-depth studies are to be conducted to find out the mechanism behind Kinesio-Taping.
