- Detailed Description
The objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping (KT) for the treatment of patients with acute low back pain.
In this study a total of 56 patients with acute low back pain were randomly allocated to the experimental group, KT along with conventional Physical therapy (PT), or the control group, conventional PT alone. 28 Patients received KT in addition to conventional PT while 28 patients received conventional PT alone for two weeks. Oswestry disability index (ODI) and numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) were used for the measurement of outcomes.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pain intensity 2 weeks Pain was measured on numerical pain rating scale. it is a scale with score from 0 to 10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is maximum pain. The minimum score mean better outcome while higher score mean worse outcome. simply lesser the score better would be the outcome.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Functional Disability 2 weeks Functional disability was measured using Oswestry Disability Index (ODI. ODI score was converted to percentage so the score ranges from 0% to 100%. Where 0% mean no disability and 100 mean very severe (maximum) disability. The minimum score mean better outcome while higher score mean worse outcome. simply lesser the score better would be the outcome.
