The subject-specific search included the terms ‘Kinesio tape’, ‘injury prevention’, ‘motor control’, and ‘proprioception’. The search included levels 1, 2 and 3 evidence-based articles.ResultsTwenty-one articles were found. The majority of the articles did not support the use of Kinesio tape in the prevention of injury nor in the increase of joint positioning sense, proprioception or increased motor control.ConclusionsIt remains questionable whetherKinesio tape should be used in order to prevent sport injury.
