Brief Summary
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).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Median frequency
Median frequency slope measured my electromyography
Change from baseline median frequency at three days after the application of the tape.
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Median frequency
Change from baseline median frequency at ten days after the application of the tape.
Sustained muscle fatigue time
Change from baseline sustained time at three days after the application of the tape.
Sustained muscle fatigue time
Change from baseline sustained time at ten days after the application of the tape.
