Brief Summary

This study will be conducted to determine the effect of kinesiotaping versus endurance exercise on postmenopausal low back pain.

Conditions

Low Back Pain

Keywords

Kinesiotape; Endurance exercise; Postmenopausal; Low back pain.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pain level assessment:

  Assessment of pain level for all participants will be measured before and after the treatment program by using the visual analogue scale (VAS) which is valid and reliable measure for pain intensity. It is a 10 cm horizontal line with two ends, 0 at one end which means no pain and 10 at the other end which means worst pain.

  3 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Timed "Up and Go"Test (TUGT):

  3 months

• Unipodal stance test

  3 months

• Evaluation of core endurance

  3 months

Study Arms (2)

Endurance exercise group

EXPERIMENTAL

The participants will perform endurance exercise (three times per week for 12 weeks

Other: Endurance exercise

Kinesiotaping group

EXPERIMENTAL

The participants will receive kinesiotaping (replaced every five days) for 12 weeks.

Other: Kinesiotaping

Interventions

Endurance exercise OTHER

The exercise-training program will be consisted of 10 minutes warming up, 30 minutes of treadmill walking, and 10 min cooling down three times per week. Warming up: It will be in the form of stretching of muscle groups for 10 minutes (3-5 stretch for the key muscle group (iliopsoas muscle, gluteus maximus ,quadriceps ,tibialis anterior , calf muscle, hold for 20-30 seconds), before the actual aerobic training session. Actual session: Participants will receive aerobic exercises in the form of Moderate aerobic exercise training in the form of 30 min of treadmill walking and corresponding to a target heart rate of 65% to 75% of HR max (Maximum HR = 220 - Age ) to be gradually achieved and maintained throughout the training program. Cooling down: It will be in the form of a treadmill walking at very slow speed for ten minutes.

Endurance exercise group

Kinesiotaping OTHER

The participants will be asked to assume standing position then to flex back to reach its maximum point. * Two bands, 1 on each side of the lumbar spine, will be applied vertically from the lower posterior iliac crest region to the upper twelfth rib region, with inhibition technique. * The remaining 2 bands will be attached horizontally, with space correction technique. * All 4 bands will be placed to allow for 50% longitudinal stretching. The stretching directions for the vertical and horizontal applications were bottom-up and sideways, respectively.
