Brief Summary

This study aimed to investigate the effect of thoracic kinesio-tape on Pulmonary Functions, time to clinical resolution and respiratory rate and arterial oxygen saturation in children with pneumonia. Thirty children with pneumonia from both sexes with age ranged from 4 to 7 years participated in this study. The patients were divided into two equal groups (study and control groups), control group received selected chest physiotherapy exercise. Study group received the same selected physical therapy program given to control group in addition to thoracic kinesio-tape three days per week for two weeks.

Conditions

Pneumonia Childhood

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• pulmonary function

  Vital capacity will carried out by using digital spirometer

  baseline- 5min for each participant

• Forced vital capacity

  By using digital spirometer

  baseline- 5min for each participant

• Forced expiratory volume in one second

  By using digital spirometer

  baseline- 5min for each participant

• Forced vital capacity/forced expiratory volume in one second ratio

  By using digital spirometer

  baseline- 5min for each participant

• Peak expiratory flow

  By using digital spirometer

  baseline- 5min for each participant

• Oxygen saturation

  By using oximeter

  baseline- 5min for each participant

Study Arms (2)

Kinesotape

OTHER

Children in group (b)will receive selected chest physical therapy exercise which including (percussion, huffing, coughing and postural drainage)three times per week for two weeks, each session will be about 20 minutesplus thoracic kinesio-tape every three days (5 times per two weeks). Children will be seated on a chair. When the children will be at the end of the expiration, it will be applied bilaterally on the fifth to sixth and ninth to tenth intercostal muscles transversally and on the anterior and posterior axillary line longitudinally with 50% tension

Other: kinesotape

chest physiotherapy exercises

OTHER

the children in the group(a) will receive the selected chest physiotherapy exercise three times per week for two weeks, each session will be about 20 minute which will include the following exercise ( huffing , coughing , percussion,and postural drainage)

Behavioral: Chest physiotherapy exercises

Interventions

kinesotape OTHER

a- Kinesio-tape: cure tape (made in Korea) made from 100% gentle cotton fibre and 100% medical grade acrylic adhesive. its Hypoallergenic, water-resistant and does not limit range of motion (ROM), it is come with different colours and sizes. Kinesio Tape is safe enough for a baby's sensitive skin, and gentle enough for aging individuals, flexible enough for rehabilitation, durable enough to support working muscle, joint or ligament and strong enough for athletes at any level.

Kinesotape

Chest physiotherapy exercises BEHAVIORAL

selected chest physiotherapy exercise three times per week for two weeks, each session will be about 20 minute which will include the following exercise ( huffing , coughing , percussion,and postural drainage)
