Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Visual Analog Scale
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 45 minute
Joint range of motion was measured with a goniometer. Spinal flexion, extension and lateral flexion were evaluated.
Timed up and go test
Time Frame: 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.
