简要总结
Non-specific low back pain is one of the main causes of disability for health care worldwide. The effectiveness of therapeutic exercise, of kinesio tape and of manual therapy in the treatment of low back pain is evaluated, but not a comparison of these techniques. Moreover, can these techniques be combined?
详细描述
Non-specific low back pain is one of the main causes of disability for health care worldwide. Nowadays, the mostly used technique to research low back muscular activity is electromyography.
Among the published studies, the effectiveness of therapeutic exercise, of kinesio tape and of manual therapy in the treatment of low back pain is evaluated, but not a comparison of these techniques.
The main objective that is aimed by this thesis, is the evaluation of muscular activation in the reduction of non-specific low back pain through a 12 weeks procedure programme, which includes therapeutic exercise combined with other treatment techniques, and assessing the psycho-social characteristics of pain.
This study's population will be composed by at least 16 individuals per group, both male and female, with ages among 20 and 80.
Participants will be randomly and blindly divided in three groups of intervention. The three groups will be: the experimental group or EXP Group (all participants subject to therapeutic exercise), the experimental group, which will also be subject to manual therapy (MT Group) and finally, the experimental group, which will also be subject to kinesio tape work (KT Group).

盲法说明
The groups will be arranged randomly and the masking technique to be used will the double blind procedure. The subjects will be randomly selected through the GPower 3.1 programme. The random allocation to each group will be made just by one external researcher, this way, neither the main researcher, nor the participants, will know their allocation. Furthermore, the inspector who will collect the evaluation data won't know either the allocation of each subject.

结局指标
主要结局
Oswestry
时间窗: (12 weeks)
The Oswestry (ODI) test will be made to all participants at three months. The results of this scale will provide the necessary information to know the degree of symptomatology of the patient and will therefore help in the planification and procedure to the patient. That is why, it has been established that all participants in Stage 1 of the test are subsidiaries to make all the treatment modes of the study (manual therapy and exercise). This way, we are able to rise the homogeneity that imposes a diagnostic label such as the chronic low back pain.
