Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the acute effect of kinesio taping on pain, range of motion and dynamic balance in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain. 48 patients were included in the study and were randomly divided into three groups by ordinal number randomization. All patients were evaluated of pain, joint range of motion and dynamic balance before and 45 minutes after the application. Kinesio taping with elastic therapeutic tape was applied to the core muscles of the study group, and the same muscles of the placebo group were taped with plaster tape in the same way, and no application was made to the control group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Visual Analog Scale

  It will evaluate pain. People marked the severity of their pain on a 10 cm line. (0: no pain, 10: maximum pain) Pain was evaluated separately as activity, rest and night.

  45 minute

• Goniometer

  Joint range of motion was measured with a goniometer. Spinal flexion, extension and lateral flexion were evaluated.

  45 minute

• Timed up and go test

  Dynamic balance was assessed with timed get up and go. The person stood up from a fixed chair, walked 3 meters and sat back down, and the time spent during this time was measured.

  45 minute

Interventions

Kinesio Tape OTHER

Kinesio tape (KT) is an elastic therapeutic tape used to treat sports injuries and various other disorders. It was first used by Dr. Kenzo Kase in 1979 to relieve pain and promote healing in soft tissues and is a method that is constantly being updated. The KT method is a therapeutic taping technique that relieves pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin.
