Safety and tolerability of kinesiotaping as add-on treatment of pressure injuries
This pilot study provides preliminary evidence of the safety and tolerability of KT. Studies have claimed that the restoration of microcirculation positively affects the healing of PIs. The findings of this study appear to demonstrate that the KT technique exploits this principle, stimulating both lymphatic and venous microcirculation. Further studies are needed to test the efficacy and effectiveness of KT on PIs versus SoC.
