简要总结
This study aim evaluates the effect of Kinesio Taping (KT) on back muscle fatigue of low back pain patients, analysing the electromyography activity of longissimus muscle (median frequency) and the sustained time during a fatigue test (Ito test).
详细描述
Individuals with low back pain usually have poor back muscles endurance, which may be improved with the application of Kinesio Taping. The aim of this study is evaluate the effect of Kinesio Taping on back muscle fatigue of low back pain patients. Sixty-four women, between 18 to 50 years old, with chronic nonspecific Low Back Pain will attend this study. They will be randomly assigned in four different groups: control group (CG), KT with tension group (KTT), KT no tension group (KTNT) and Micropore® group (MP) and submitted to three evaluations: pre, three and ten days after intervention, analysing the electromyography activity of longissimus muscle and the sustained time during a fatigue test. The variables analysed during the evaluations will be median frequency (MP) slope of longuissimus muscle and sustained time during the Ito test.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control group
It will not apply any tape.
Experimental group 1
Apply the KT with tension in the erector spine muscles.
干预措施: Functional elastic tape tensioned (Other)
Experimental group 2
Apply the KT without tension in the erector spine muscles.
干预措施: Functional elastic tape non-tensioned (Other)
Experimental group 3
Apply Micropore tape in the erector spine muscles.
干预措施: Rigid Tape (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Median frequency
时间窗: Change from baseline median frequency at three days after the application of the tape.
Median frequency slope measured my electromyography
次要结局
- Sustained muscle fatigue time(Change from baseline sustained time at ten days after the application of the tape.)
- Median frequency(Change from baseline median frequency at ten days after the application of the tape.)
