Study Description

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.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Star tape 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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Kinesiological Tape Application [4 days]
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.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Visual Analogue Scale [4 days]
Patients were asked to mark the pain they felt on a 10 cm scale between '0' (I have no pain) and '10' (I have unbearable pain), the distance between the marked point and the starting point was measured and recorded as data.
Oswestry Scale [4 days]
The Turkish version of the Oswestry Scale was applied to individuals to measure the low back pain disability level of the individuals. The study on the validity of the questionnaire was conducted by Yakut et al. In this scale, there are 10 questions evaluating various activities of daily living and 6 options for each question with a score between 0 and 5. 0-4 points as no disability, 5-14 points as mild, 15-24 points as moderate, 25-34 points as severe and 35-50 points as complete functional disability. The lowest score obtained from the scale is 0, and the highest score is 50. A score of 50 indicates the maximum level of functional disability.
Lumbar Flexion Repeat Speed Test [4 days]
To evaluate functional performance. Before starting the test, warm-up flexion was performed 3 times, and the individual was asked to bend forward 10 times as fast as he could, while standing and both heels together, and to straighten as fast as he could again. The chronometer was started with the start command, the chronometer was stopped after 10 consecutive flexion and extension were completed, and the elapsed time was recorded in seconds.
Sit-and-Stand Test [4 days]
To evaluate functional performance is the Sit-Up test (OKHT). After sitting on a chair, the individual was asked to get up and sit down as fast as he could 5 times, the chronometer was started with the start command, and the elapsed time was recorded in seconds after the last sitting was completed.
Biering Sorenson Test [4 days]
to assess the trunk endurance. Trunk Extensor Muscle Endurance (Biering-Sorensen Test): The individual was prone placed by hanging from the bed from the anterior superior of the spina iliaca, and was fixed at the gastrocnemius muscle level. He was asked to keep his torso parallel to the ground by clasping his hands on the chest. The time that parallelism was maintained was recorded.
