Summary

Researchers compared the adhesion of 3 brands of kinesiology tape over 5 days. They evaluated the percentage of tape adhesion to the lower back in 2 groups of 20 subjects at 1, 3, and 5 day intervals after application. They found that TheraBand Kinesiology Tape did not significantly change in adhesion over 5 days, retaining 70-76% of its adhesion. In contrast, both Kinesiotex® and KT Tape® brands significantly declined to 59% and 35% adhesion, respectively. The KT Tape had significantly less adhesion than TheraBand Kinesiology Tape after 5 days.
