Brief Summary

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

Conditions

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Keywords

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease; Mechanical Correction; Facilitation; Thoracic Taping; Kinesio Taping; Respiratory Muscle Strength; Pulmonary Functions; Functional Exercise Capacity

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Pulmonary Function Test

  Pulmonary functions will be evaulated in laboratory conditions. Dynamic lung volumes will be measured using standardized spirometric measurement regulations established by ATS/ERS guidelines.

  30 minutes after every application

• Respiratory Muscle Strength

  Respiratory muscle strenght will be measured as Maximum Inspiratory Pressure \& Maximum Expiratory Pressure with MicroMPM device. Measuring procedure will be held according to ERS guidelines. Measurements will be interpreted with Black and Hyatt's references.

  30 minutes after every application

• Functional Exercise Capacity

  Functional exercise capacity will be measured with 6-minute walk test. Cardiovascular paremeters, dyspnea, respiratory rate and fatigue will be evaulated before, during and after the test .

  30 minutes after every application

• Dyspnea

  Dyspnea in daily living was evaluated by the Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale. The scale consists in five statements that describe almost the entire range of dyspnea from none (Grade 0) to almost complete incapacity (Grade 4). Higher scores indicates increased dyspnea perception.

  30 minutes after each application

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Perception of Disease

  30 minutes after each application.

Study Arms (3)

Facilitation Tape

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

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.

Device: Kinesio Taping

Mechanical Correction Tape

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

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.

Device: Kinesio Taping

No Tape

NO INTERVENTION

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

Interventions

Kinesio Taping 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.
