Kheriba et al 2017. Effect of Kinesio Taping on Hand Function in Children after Forearm Fracture. This is not a study on lymph taping but a good study on using tape for recovery of acute fracture. I would love to see a similar study on acute post-surgical oedema.The tape was applied with 25% stretch, description pasted below. While they didn't measure swelling, they do mention it as an effect of the tape in their Discussion. Kinesio tape was used for study group in addition to the previous physical therapy program.Prior to application of Kinesio tape, the skin sensitivity test was done by applying a square piece of Kinesio-tape over the middle dorsal part of forearm and kept for 48 hours, then removed and observed the skin for any reaction to the tape. Two tapes of Kinesio were used, 1 st one was applied with the anchor over the medial condyle of the humerus and extended over the anterior aspect of the forearm to attach to the flexor retinaculum with 25% stretch, and 2nd I tape was applied by anchor over the lateral epicondyle of the humerus and extended to the base of 2nd and 3rd metacarpal bones of the wrist with 25% stretch of pronated forearm and flexed wrist. Children were instructed not to rub or remove the tape while washing hands or showering. If the tape torn or removed for any cause a new tape should be applied as soon as possible. The tape was applied for 5 days, then removed for 48 hours to allow skin perspiration and then was reapplied again for four weeks
