Application of Kinesiotaping In Rehabilitation of Employees of Power Structures Involved in Elimination of Emergencies Consequences

The aim of the study was to determine current evidence base for effectiveness kinesiotaping in Russian EMERCOM employees suffering from osteoarthritis knee joint. Materials and research methods. data foreign literature on efficacy method were analyzed. performed using electronic databases MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web Science, eLIBRARY PEDro period 2007 till 2021. following key words their combinations used: kinesioteaping, joint, osteoarthritis, rehabilitation. Study results analysis. More than 1,000 articles found analyzed as a result search. Seven studies met inclusion criteria. Analysis led conclusions: Kinesiotaping can be considered proven pain reduction without any side effects. A positive effect proprioreception range motion joint has been established. At same time, effects an effective rehabilitation tool is ambiguous, which suggests need further research. lack standardization type kinesiotape used, its adhesive qualities, thickness, elasticity, place application duration wear make it difficult patients with osteoarthritis. Since most have involved people under 30 years age, remains unclear whether age-related changes skin texture structure affect kinesiotaping.
