While Kinesiotape is known for its flexibility and freedom of movement, Hypafix and Leukotape are designed specifically to enhance joint stabilization. The primary objectives of using these tapes are to improve joint position and stability, provide sensorimotor feedback, normalize motion, and reduce pain perception.
