简要总结
The purpose of the study is to search immediate effects of kinesio taping applied to the thoracic region on proprioception, posture and trunk muscle endurance in adult individuals.
详细描述
Kinesio tape applications are one of the frequently used interventions within the scope of physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Kinesio taping is a non-invasive treatment method performed for several reasons such as reducing pain, relieving abnormal muscle and fascia tension and correcting biomechanical alignment. Kinesio taping consists of muscle, fascia, ligament, mechanic, functional and lymphatic correction techniques depending on therapeutic purposes.
Although kinesio tape applications on different regions such as abdomen or neck may have positive effects on posture, proprioception and trunk muscle endurance, there has not been found any study searching the effectiveness of kinesio taping applied to thoracal region on posture, proprioception and trunk muscle endurance in adult individuals. Thus, there is a need to investigate this issue.

结局指标
主要结局
Trunk position sense
时间窗: immediately after the intervention
Inclinometer will be positioned at spinous process of 4th thoracic vertebrae during trunk position sense assessment. Subject will be retreated to neutral position and asked to come back taught position while eyes closed. Test will be repeated 3 times and angle of deviation from 30 degree flexion position will be recorded and the average of the results will be taken.
次要结局
- Joint position sense of cervical spine(immediately after the intervention)
- Head-neck posture(immediately after the intervention)
- Thoracic kyphosis(immediately after the intervention)
- Trunk extensor muscle endurance(immediately after the intervention)
