Brief Summary

This study aims to compare the acute effects of different kinesiology tapes on pain, functional performance and trunk endurance in young adults with chronic low back pain. Seventy young adults with chronic low back pain between the ages of 18-40 were included in our study. The individuals included in our study were divided into two groups by a simple randomization method. Star-shaped kinesiology taping was applied to the 1st group, and I-shaped kinesiology taping was applied to the 2nd group. The demographic and physical characteristics of the individuals who agreed to participate in the study were recorded. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to evaluate pain before taping, immediately after taping and 4 days after taping, Oswestry low back pain disability scale (OLBPDS) to assess disability level, Lumbar Flexion Repeat Speed Test, Sit-and-Stand Test to evaluate functional performance in both groups. Biering Sorenson Test was applied to evaluate the forward bending test with weight and trunk endurance.

Study Arms (2)

Star tape

EXPERIMENTAL

Group 1 ( n=35) was applied with the star technique. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to evaluate pain before taping, immediately after taping and 4 days after taping, Oswestry low back pain disability scale (OLBPDS) to assess disability level, Lumbar Flexion Repeat Speed Test, Sit-and-Stand Test to evaluate functional performance in both groups. Biering Sorenson Test was applied to evaluate the forward bending test with weight and trunk endurance. Individuals in both groups were told to continue with their daily lives while on the tapes. It was stated that the bands should stay on the applied area for 4 days, that they can have a bath while the bands are on, and that if the bands are uncomfortable or excessive itching on the skin, the individuals can remove the bandage with an oily solution. No itching, redness, or allergic reactions was observed in either group.

I Tape

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Group 2 (n=35) was applied in the form of I tape. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to evaluate pain before taping, immediately after taping and 4 days after taping, Oswestry low back pain disability scale (OLBPDS) to assess disability level, Lumbar Flexion Repeat Speed Test, Sit-and-Stand Test to evaluate functional performance in both groups. Biering Sorenson Test was applied to evaluate the forward bending test with weight and trunk endurance. Individuals in both groups were told to continue with their daily lives while on the tapes. It was stated that the bands should stay on the applied area for 4 days, that they can have a bath while the bands are on, and that if the bands are uncomfortable or excessive itching on the skin, the individuals can remove the bandage with an oily solution. No itching, redness, or allergic reactions was observed in either group.
