KinesioTaping: impact on non-motor symptoms in cervical dystonia patients treated with botulinum toxin injection.

Aim Of The Study: To assess whether combined therapy with botulinum toxin injections (BoNT) and KinesioTaping could be helpful in managing non-motor symptoms (NMS) of cervical dystonia (CD).

Material And Methods: Seventeen patients with CD were enrolled in this single-centre, prospective, evaluator-blinded, randomised, crossover trial. We compared three forms of treatment: BoNT treatment alone, or combined with KinesioTaping, or combined with ShamTaping.

KinesioTaping after botulinum toxin type A for cervical dystonia in adult patients.

Introduction: Studies explored physiotherapeutic approaches in cervical dystonia (CD) patients with or without botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections, however the results are varying. There are no clinical trials investigating the effects of kinesiology taping in CD patients. The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of kinesiology taping as an adjunct to the BoNT injections in patients with CD.

The effect of cervical spine rotation on electromyographic activity of the trapezius and serratus anterior during selected shoulder complex movements.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was the assessment of the effect of cervical spine rotation on the activity of the upper (UT) and lower (LT) trapezius and serratus anterior (SA) muscles during selected shoulder movements.

Methods: The investigation included 33 healthy individuals (mean age ± SD: 22 ± 1.73 years).

Changes in postural stability on balance platform in patients after meniscal repair - two years follow up.

Purpose: The aim of this work was to evaluate postural stability on the balance platform averagely 2 years following meniscal repair.

Methods: This is a retrospective, case-control comparative analysis of patients who underwent surgical repair for the isolated longitudinal traumatic meniscal tear versus matched healthy controls. The study group consisted of 30 patients (mean age 29.
