简要总结
This study aims to determine the difference between the effect of kinesiotape and myofascial release in the treatment of postnatal low back pain.
详细描述
Postpartum back pain may occur in up to 44% of women after childbirth. People who have chronic back pain may have a limited range of motion and/or tenderness upon touch.
Therapeutic KT can benefit a wide variety of musculoskeletal and sports injuries, plus inflammatory conditions. According to the Kinesiotape Method Manual, this traction promotes an elevation of the epidermis and reduces pressure on the mechanoreceptors located below the dermis, thereby reducing nociceptive stimuli and low back pain.
Myofascial release (MFR) is a treatment that uses gentle pressure and stretching to facilitate the release of fascial restrictions caused by accidents, injury, stress, repetitive use, and traumatic or surgical scarring.
Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy used to treat somatic dysfunction and accompanying pain and restriction of motion. This is accomplished by relaxing the contracted muscle, increasing circulation, increasing venous and lymphatic drainage, and stimulating the stretch reflex of muscles and overlying fascia so, reducing low back pain.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain intensity level
时间窗: 4 weeks
The intensity of postnatal low back pain will be assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) for all participants in both groups before and after treatment, which is a method of representing subjects' pain on a 10 cm linear scale. A score of 0 means " no pain" and 10 means " very high degree of pain
次要结局
- Lumbar flexion range of motion(4 weeks)
- Lumbar extension range of motion(4 weeks)
- Lumbar lateral flexion range of motion(4 weeks)
