Abstract

VILLOTA CHICAIZA, Ximena María. Neuromuscular Bandage: Neurophysiological Effects and the Role of Fascias. Rev. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.2, pp.253-269. ISSN 1692-7273.

During the last years, neuromuscular bandage, a therapeutic application created in 1979 by doctor Kenzo Kase has been introduced in the management of many disorders of the musculo-skeletal system and even more so in the treatment of neurological disorders; This therapeutic tool which consists of a self adhesive elastic bandage allows recovery of the injured party without diminish- ing its bodily function. According to the existing literature on the physiological effects of this therapeutic application in the body, you could say that there is consensus. However in this article the author wants to highlight the significant although little highlighted role played by the fascias on the therapeutic effects of neuromuscular bandage, analyzing from a reflective perspective the analgesic, neuromechanical and circulatory effects, as fundamental effects of neuromuscular bandage and fascias in the same function, trying to bring a global understanding on the way they relate to all connective tissues, aspects that are of great importance for the proper evaluation of alterations and prescription of neuromuscular bandage.

Keywords : neuromuscular bandage; neurophysiological; analgesic effect; neuromechanical effect; circulatory effect; fascias; receiver; proprioception.
