The Acute Effect of Kinesio Tape on Pain, Joint Range of Motion and Dynamic Balance in Patients With Low Back Pain

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Low Back Pain

• Registration Number: NCT06749821
• Lead Sponsor: Istanbul Saglik Bilimleri University

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the acute effect of kinesio taping on pain, range of motion and dynamic balance in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain. 48 patients were included in the study and were randomly divided into three groups by ordinal number randomization. All patients were evaluated of pain, joint range of motion and dynamic balance before and 45 minutes after the application. Kinesio taping with elastic therapeutic tape was applied to the core muscles of the study group, and the same muscles of the placebo group were taped with plaster tape in the same way, and no application was made to the control group.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the acute effect of kinesio taping on pain, range of motion and dynamic balance in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain. 48 patients were included in the study and were randomly divided into three groups by ordinal number randomization. All patients were evaluated by the same physiotherapist in terms of pain (Visual Analog Scale), joint range of motion (Gonyometric measurement) and dynamic balance (Timed Up and Go Test) before and 45 minutes after the application. Kinesio taping with elastic therapeutic tape was applied to the transversus abdominis, rectus abdominis and iliocostal muscles of the study group, and the same muscles of the placebo group were taped with plaster tape in the same way, and no application was made to the control group.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Visual Analog Scale	45 minute	It will evaluate pain. People marked the severity of their pain on a 10 cm line. (0: no pain, 10: maximum pain) Pain was evaluated separately as activity, rest and night.
Goniometer	45 minute	Joint range of motion was measured with a goniometer. Spinal flexion, extension and lateral flexion were evaluated.
Timed up and go test	45 minute	Dynamic balance was assessed with timed get up and go. The person stood up from a fixed chair, walked 3 meters and sat back down, and the time spent during this time was measured.
