An investigation into the effects of kinesiotaping for posture correction on kyphosis angle, pain, and balance in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis-associated thoracic kyphosis. Arch Osteoporos. 2019;14(1):89. (2019)	Corrective Technique in X: With the patient in flexion and the shoulders protruding, the NT is applied at the level of the AAC, where the base of the I-band is taken without stretching, and then applying maximum stretch to the lower limit of the contralateral costal patella; the end of the adhesion is applied without stretching. Another NT I-band was also applied to the opposite shoulder with the same technique to obtain a cross sign. The cross point was adjusted to correspond to the lower third of the medial border of the scapula.	Pain: ↓VAS in both groups after six weeks; in the first three weeks ↓, VAS GI>GC. Balance: EE and EF ↑ in both groups after six weeks; ↑EE at 30 min after placing the NT in GI. AC: no significant changes between groups after six weeks; ↑AC at 30 min after placing the NT in the GI.

Short-Term Effects of Kinesio Taping® on Electromyographic Characteristics of Paraspinal Muscles, Pain, and Disability in Patients With Lumbar Disk Herniation. J Sport Rehabil. 2019;28(5):402-12. (2019)	Corrective technique in X: With the patient in bipedestation, 2 NT belts were placed with an I-section from the axillary fold to the major trochanter on the opposite side in the form of a cross, with the midpoint superimposed on the lumbosacral junction. The midpoint was fixed without tension, and the tails of the strips were applied with 15-25% tension.	Disability level: ↓ in both groups. No significant differences between the two groups. Pain: ↓ in both groups. No significant differences between the two groups. FRR, ERR, lumbar myofascial stiffness-related pain, and spinal extension force: no significant changes.
Atici et al^.29 (2017)	The I-band muscle technique was used on the paraspinal muscles between D3 and L1. The point of origin is the spinal apophyses from D11 to L3, and the insertion point is the spinal apophyses from D3 to T8. Base grip and 25-50% tension are applied on the convex side (from origin to insertion) and 15-25% on the concave side (from insertion to origin).	Pain: ↓VAS en GI>GC. Quality of life: ↑ en GI>GC.

Back Musculoskelet Rehabil. 2017;30(3):543-50. (2017)	The star technique is used. Four I-bands were applied with the patient in maximum trunk flexion. In the GK, the middle point of the belt that is stretched to the maximum is applied at the most painful point, and the ends of the belt are held without stretching.	Pain: ↓ in both groups, but analgesic consumption ↓ in GI. Level of disability: ↓ HAQ and ODI in both groups, but without significant differences between groups Lumbar flexion: no significant changes in FFD or LST.

Back Musculoskelet Rehabil. 2017;30(1):51-62. (2017)	Muscle technique is applied: NT with 5% tension to reduce pain and strengthen the movement in the upper, middle, and lower trapezius muscles and the paravertebral muscles in the sitting position, with a Y-band and an I-band.	Pain and NDI score: ↓ in all groups ROM: -In EC after ↑ at T2 in all, ↓ at T3 in GC, and ↑ at T3 in GMM and GK. -In the ID, the ↑ en T2 of the GK > GC. -In DR and RI, after ↑ at T2 in all, only ↑ at T3 in GMM and GK. Muscle strength: - ↑ in all groups without significant differences, but in the deep cervical flexor, the ↑ of the T2 force of the GK > (GMM or GC).
