Tape trick tames tremors? new study tests kinesiotaping for Parkinson's

This study tested whether adding kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape) to a home exercise program can reduce hand tremors and improve hand function in people with Parkinson's disease. 45 adults with Parkinson's and hand tremor were randomly assigned to receive either real kinesiotaping, sham (fake) taping, or no taping, all combined with the same strengthening and stretching exercises. Researchers measured tremor frequency using an Apple Watch and assessed grip strength, dexterity, and quality of life to see if the tape provides extra benefit beyond exercise alone.
