简要总结
Investigators investigated that the effects of kinesilogy taping on performance, energy consumption and gait characteristics in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
详细描述
Forty-five patients from Level 1 and 2 according to the Brooke Lower Extremity Functional Classification were included in the study. Performance was assessed by measuring the distance in 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and the duration of timed performance tests; energy consumption by Physiological Consumption Index (PCI), and gait characteristics by footprint method on powdered ground at baseline. Kinesiology taping with facilitation technique was applied on bilateral quadriceps and tibialis anterior muscles and the assessments were repeated 1 hour after application. The comparison between before and after taping was analyzed.

研究组 & 干预措施
Kinesiology taping
After performing the baseline assessments, kinesiology taping with facilitation technique was applied on bilateral quadriceps and tibialis anterior muscles of children. In both applications, the first and last 5 cm section of the bands were used as anchor and no tension was applied.
干预措施: Kinesiology Taping (Device)
结局指标
主要结局
Six Minute Walk Test
时间窗: 6 minute
Six Minute Walk Test was used commonly in DMD were found to be valid, reliable and easy to apply in the clinic. Children were asked to walk during 6 minutes as fast as they can at a corridor specified by two cones and walking distances were recorded as meter (m) for 6MWT. The time passed during timed performance tests were recorded as seconds.
次要结局
- Energy Consumption(6 minutes)
- Gait(2 minutes)
- Timed Performance Test(10 minutes)
