Kinesiology Taping on low back pain

The effect of Kinesiology taping application on the resting muscle activity in those with low back pain - randomized controlled trial


Sponsor

Department of Physiotherapy, Medical Higher School in Opole

Enrollment

60 participants

Start Date

Jul 2, 2018

Study Type

Interventional

Conditions

Summary

Low back pain is the most popular disease of the XXI century, hindering daily life. Physiotherapy routinely uses a variety of approaches to address these issues. The material used for the Kinesio tape and the original concept of the taping technique was introduced by Dr. Kenso Kase in 1973. KT had been designed to allow 40-50% longitudinal stretch. It is composed of 100% cotton fibers and acrylic heat sensitive glue. Kinesiology taping is a method that can be used separately or as a complement to therapy. Hypothesis: The Kinesiology Taping method will reduce pain, reduce the bioelectric activity of the muscles and improve the motor function and mobility of the patient.

The aim of the study will be the analysis of early and distant results of treatment of low back pain with application kinesiology taping (KT). Interventional: Subjects from all three groups receive a routine treatment, including stabilizer training. The tape groups 1 and 2 (KT and Quasi KT) in group C only stabilizer training without KT. Group (Kinesiology Taping) In this group KT was applied according to the Kenzo Kaser Kinesio taping manual. The participants assumed standing position to allow forward bending, while the therapist standing behind the participants. Each application will be made using the ligament technology. Depending on the intensity of the pain, the plaster will be stretched in the range of 25 - 50%. KT base has been applied to TH 12 without tension. KT tails go down the spine extender to the sacrum with a tension of 25-50%. The second KT will be applied on laterally at the height of the painful area without tension. The tape will be worn by the participant on a continuous basis and will be changed by the physiotherapist every five days, unless the participant withdraws or shows signs of skin irritation. The application will be for a total period of 10 days. In groups KT and Quasi KT, patients are to exercise as basic therapy according to the same methodology as described in group control. All three groups receive a individual routine treatment by physiotherapist. Each patient will perform a basic training used to treat low back pain ( continued the same terapy used in hospital). Patient will be checked for presence. for a period of three weeks (without weekends).
