简要总结
This study is aimed at determining the effect of kinesio taping on waist to hip ratio, abdominal muscle strength and body image concerns in postpartum females.
详细描述
Post Caesarian section there is abdominal weakness and an increase in fat ratio. There is a significant decrease in strength of abdominal muscles and an increase in fat ratio after the C section. Common increase in abdominal circumference in postpartum females and its long term outcomes like women health orders change in body shape and dissatisfaction is arising very commonly in society. Body Image Concern Inventory scale is used to assess dysmorphic concern of body. This study will work on the effects of Kinesiotaping which will be easily applicable and increase muscle activation along with abdominal exercises to regain lost muscle strength and tightening of loose skin. This tapping technique has a therapeutic effect on muscles and easily available in the rehabilitation department. Nowadays it is becoming very common, easily available, and regarded by physiotherapists as a method to support, rehabilitate and stimulate some physiological processes. This study aims at determining rehabilitative treatment to reduce waist circumference in post partum females.

结局指标
主要结局
waist to hip ratio
时间窗: 8th week
Changes from baseline waist circumference was measured using a non-elastic measuring tape was used perpendicular to the long axis of the body and horizontal to the floor at end of normal expiration at anatomic landmarks including midpoint between the lowest rib (below) and iliac crest (above). Hip Circumference was also measured around the largest parts of the hips. The waist-to-hip ratio was calculated by dividing the waist circumference by hip circumference. The scores were measured at baseline and after 8 weeks of intervention.
次要结局
- Body Image concerns Inventory(8th week)
- Double leg lowering test(8th week)
