Effects of Different Kinesio Taping Treatments Added to the Physical Therapy Program on Pain, Endurance, Lumbar Proprioception, Mobility and Disability in Patients Diagnosed With Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In addition to the physical therapy program, taping was applied to 90 patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation. 90 patients were randomized into 3 groups. Group 1 received star-shaped taping to the lumbar region in addition to physical therapy, Group 2 received I-shaped taping to the erector spinae muscles in addition to physical therapy, and Group 3 was planned as the control group. In the first evaluation, sociodemographic information and disease duration (months) were questioned. Then, pain, muscle strength and endurance mobility, lumbar proprioception, functional level, and disability were evaluated. Evaluations were performed before treatment, after taping and at the end of the 12th week.
The study included 90 patients aged between 18-65 years who were diagnosed with LDH by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), had moderate to severe low back pain (Numeric Rating Scale \>4) for at least 6 weeks, and were planned to receive a physical therapy program (10 sessions of hotpack, Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and ultrasound every day for 2 weeks). The 90 patients included in the study were randomized into 3 groups using the computer-assisted randomization method. Group 1 received star-shaped taping to the lumbar region in addition to physical therapy (5 times in total every 3 days), Group 2 received I-shaped taping to the erector spinae muscles in addition to physical therapy (5 times in total every 3 days), and Group 3 was planned as the control group. In the first evaluation, sociodemographic information (age, gender, height (m), weight (kg), BMI (kg/m2)) and disease duration (months) were questioned. Then, pain (pain intensity and pressure pain threshold), muscle strength (lumbar extensor muscle strength) and endurance (trunk extensor muscle endurance), mobility (lumbar lordosis angle, joint range of motion), lumbar proprioception, functional level, disability evaluations were performed. Evaluations were performed before treatment, after the taping application and at the end of the 12th week. Post-treatment evaluations were performed the day after the tape was removed.
