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.
Detailed description
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 by the same physiotherapist in terms of pain (Visual Analog Scale), joint range of motion (Gonyometric measurement) and dynamic balance (Timed Up and Go Test) before and 45 minutes after the application. Kinesio taping with elastic therapeutic tape was applied to the transversus abdominis, rectus abdominis and iliocostal 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.
Interventions
OTHERKinesio Tape
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.
OTHERPlacebo Tape (Arm 1)
In this application, taping was applied in the same way but with a plaster tape.
No application was made.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analog Scale | 45 minute | 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. |
| Goniometer | 45 minute | Joint range of motion was measured with a goniometer. Spinal flexion, extension and lateral flexion were evaluated. |
| Timed up and go test | 45 minute | 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. |
