简要总结
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of kinseio taping on functional capacity, pulmonary functions, respiratory muscle strength, severity of dyspnea, severity of fatigue in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Assessment of patients was done baseline and 6th week.
Eligible patients for the study randomly allocated to Kinesio Taping Group (KTG), or Control Group (CG). Both groups received three different deep breathing exercises (diaphragmatic, thoracic, and lateral basal), each consisting of three sets of 10 repetitions, with 30 seconds of rest between each set. KTG also received thoracic kinesio taping application.

盲法说明
An assessor who was blinded to treatment groups assessed clinical outcomes before the treatment process. The same assessor was also repeated assessments at 6th week (at the end of treatment process)

结局指标
主要结局
Change in functional capacity
时间窗: Baseline, 6th week
Six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a valid, reliable and useful test for assessing functional capacity of COPD patients. This test assesses distance walked over 6 minutes as a sub-maximal test of aerobic capacity/endurance.
次要结局
- Change in pulmonary functions(Baseline, 6th week)
- Change in respiratory muscle strength(Baseline, 6th week)
- Change in severity of dyspnoea(Baseline, 6th week)
- Change in severity of fatigue(Baseline, 6th week)
