Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Study will investigate effects of two different kinesio taping techniques on pulmonary parameters of patients with COPD.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is an irreversible, progressive, treatable airway disease which causes dyspnea, wheezing, coughing and increased secretions in airways. Thoracic and respiratory mechanics are impaired, respiratory muscle strength and functional exercise capacity is decreased in patients with COPD. As a result dyspnea, limitation in activities of daily living, postural impairments, muscle length-strength relationship changes and increased mechanical loads on respiratory muscles occur. In literature it has been demonstrated that Kinesio Taping have therapeutic effects on respiratory functions and functional exercise capacity in patients with chronic neurological diseases who has additional respiratory impairments. Although there are several studies in literature investigating the effects of facilitation and inhibition taping techniques applied on respiratory muscles in patients with COPD, effects of thoracic and postural mechanical correction techniques as an alternative treatment modality in patients with COPD have not been investigated yet. In present study, effects of thoracic mechanical correction and facilitation taping techniques in patients with COPD will be investigated, and data will be collected for effects of thoracic mechanical correction taping on pulmonary parameters in patients with COPD.

Participants Outcome Assessors
Evaluation of patients after taping application will be done by another physiotherapist who does not know the taping techniques and also cannot see the taped area by clothes of patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Facilitation Tape

Diaphragm and Intercostal muscles will be taped with facilitation technique. After 30 minutes of application patients will be evaulated for pulmonary parameters, functional exercise capacity and dyspnea.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Kinesio Taping

Intervention Type DEVICE

Kinesio Taping is a special taping method developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase in 1973. This technique triggers natural healing responses of human body by activating nervous and circulatory systems. The tapes are thin, latex-free, cotton, porous and anti-allergenic, with equal thickness of epidermis. It has elastic properites which allows the tape to elongate to %55-60 of its original lenght. Tape can be used up to 1 week even after sweating or cleaning with water. There are different application techniques for different purposes. Facilitation technique facilitates muscle contractions and supports muscle function. Mechancial correction technique is used for joint positioning and correcting motion of muscle-joint dynamics.

Mechanical Correction Tape

Thorax will be taped with mechanical correction technique. After 30 minutes of application patients will be evaulated for pulmonary parameters, functional exercise capacity and dyspnea.

No Tape

Patients will be evaulated for pulmonary parameters, functional exercise capacity and dyspnea with no tape.
