Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to evaluate the acute effect of kinesio taping on pain, range of motion and dynamic balance in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain. 48 patients were included in the study and were randomly divided into three groups by ordinal number randomization. All patients were evaluated of pain, joint range of motion and dynamic balance before and 45 minutes after the application. Kinesio taping with elastic therapeutic tape was applied to the core muscles of the study group, and the same muscles of the placebo group were taped with plaster tape in the same way, and no application was made to the control group.

Detailed Description

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

The aim of this study is to evaluate the acute effect of kinesio taping on pain, range of motion and dynamic balance in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain. 48 patients were included in the study and were randomly divided into three groups by ordinal number randomization. All patients were evaluated by the same physiotherapist in terms of pain (Visual Analog Scale), joint range of motion (Gonyometric measurement) and dynamic balance (Timed Up and Go Test) before and 45 minutes after the application. Kinesio taping with elastic therapeutic tape was applied to the transversus abdominis, rectus abdominis and iliocostal muscles of the study group, and the same muscles of the placebo group were taped with plaster tape in the same way, and no application was made to the control group.

Kinesio Tape Group

Kinesio tape was applied to this group.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Kinesio Tape

Intervention Type OTHER

Kinesio tape (KT) is an elastic therapeutic tape used to treat sports injuries and various other disorders. It was first used by Dr. Kenzo Kase in 1979 to relieve pain and promote healing in soft tissues and is a method that is constantly being updated. The KT method is a therapeutic taping technique that relieves pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin.

Placebo Tape Group

Placebo tape was applied to this group.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo Tape (Arm 1)

Intervention Type OTHER

In this application, taping was applied in the same way but with a plaster tape.

Control Group

No application was made to this group. Just rest

Group Type OTHER

Control (no last irrigation)

Intervention Type OTHER

No application was made.
