Abstract
ABSTRACT
Objectives: To investigate the immediate and 48 hours effects after kinesio tape application on dynamic balance in different grades of pain intensity in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain. Subjects: Forty-five male and female patients, with age between 18-40 years old, and body mass index from 18 to 30 (kg/m2), diagnosed with chronic mechanical low back pain. Methods: The Patients were subdivided in three groups, group A (n=15) had a mild degree, group B (n=15) had a moderate degree, group C (n=15) had a severe degree of mechanical low back pain, all received a star-shape kinesio tape application and assessed for dynamic balance by Biodex balance system and pain intensity by Arabic Numerical Pain Rating Scale as a primary outcome and global rating of change as secondary outcome, three times (pre-application, immediately after and 48hour after application). Results: MANOVA testing revealed that the mean value of pain in group A significantly reduced. by 53%, group B by 45% and group C by 58% after 48 hours of Kinesio Tape application compared with that before application (p = 0.001). There was no significant difference in the mean values of overall stability index, anteroposterior stability index and mediolateral stability index pre-application, immediately after and 48hour after Kinesio Tape application in the same group or between the three groups (p =0.733, 0.745 and 0.503). Conclusion: Application of kinesio taping may improve pain intensity immediately and after 48 hours of kinesio tape application, meanwhile there was no significant improvement on dynamic balance.
