Kineesiotaping for Patients With LCPD

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease
• Interventions: Other: Kinesiotaping; Other: Sham taping

• Registration Number: NCT05840146
• Lead Sponsor: Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa (IUC)

Brief Summary

Kinesiotaping is increasingly being used as a complement to musculoskeletal pain management. This study aimed to evaluate the immediate clinical efficacy of kinesiotaping on pain and pain-related symptoms of Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease (LCPD).

Detailed Description

Kinesio taping is increasingly being used as a complement to musculoskeletal pain management. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted. Activity-related hip pain, passive and pain limited hip range of motion, gluteus medius muscle strength, function and balance were assessed.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Kinesiotaping group	Kinesiotaping	Kinesiotape was applied to the lateral side of the affected hip for gluteus medius muscle. Each patient was positioned lying down with the affected side up, and two I-strips were used.
Sham taping group	Sham taping	Sham tape was applied with a single I-strip without tension in tape or muscle stretch. After paper backing was completely removed, tape was essentially placed on the skin across the lateral side of the affected hip.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Immediate Clinical Efficacy on Activity Related Hip	The change between T1 (baseline) to T2 (thirty minutes later from the application)	Horizontal 10 cm VAS (0, no pain; 10, the worst pain ever possible)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Immediate Clinical Efficacy on Functional Task Durations	The change between T1 (baseline) to T2 (thirty minutes later from the application)	10-meters walk task duration (sec) and 10-step climbing task duration (sec)
Immediate Clinical Efficacy on Gluteus medius muscle strength	The change between T1 (baseline) to T2 (thirty minutes later from the application)	muscle strength by handheld dynamometer (Ibs)
Immediate Clinical Efficacy on Balance test durations	The change between T1 (baseline) to T2 (thirty minutes later from the application)	One leg stance test duration (sec) and Tandem walk test duration (sec)
Immediate Clinical Efficacy on Hip Abduction ROM	The change between T1 (baseline) to T2 (thirty minutes later from the application)	goniometric range of motion (ROM)
