The application of kinesiology tape as a tactile feedback for management of lower larynx position: a pilot study

Abstract

Kinesiology tape (KT) therapy has successfully been incorporated into speech pathology clinical practice for treatment of myofunctional orofacial disorders. The elastic property of the tape allowed for support without hindering movement range. Subjects with hyperfunctional voice disorders often present with a high held larynx position. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the possibility of using an adapted application of KT as a tool for the management of the vertical larynx position (VLP)
