Effects of Kinesio Taping on peak torque and muscle activity in women with low back pain presenting fears and beliefs related to physical activity

Background:The technique of Kinesio-Taping is a method of adhesive bandage exerting traction on the skin which would favorably influence the muscular and articular systems by reducing the pressure exerted on the subcutaneous mechanoreceptors thus reducing pain and muscle tension.Objectives:The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of Kinesio-Taping in the short and medium term on pain and function in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain compared to a placebo.Methods:We conducted a double-blind, two-arm randomized clinical trial. The study should include a total of 70 patients randomized into 2 groups: Kinesio-Taping (n = 35) and control group (n = 35). To this date we have included 46 patients.All patients receives four I-shaped adhesive strips arranged in a star-like shape and applied to the most painful region of the lower back with a tension between 25% to 30% in the taping group. The placebo group received a taping procedure with no tension.Taping is applied three times (at baseline, fourth and eighth day). Patients are assessed at baseline, on day 14 and at 4 weeks by the Arabic version of the Oswestry Physical and Functional Disability Index (ODI) which is the primary outcome. The secondary outcomes are the assessment of pain and functional disability according to the visual analog scale (VAS) evaluated on a scale of 0 to 10, as well as Rolland-Morris score.Results:Both groups were comparable at baseline concerning the demographical and clinical characteristics (P > 0.05) (table 1). The result of repeated measures ANOVA showed a significant change in ODI score and in VAS for pain and functional disability as well as Rolland-Morris score in both groups. Using the ANCOVA, controlling for pre-test scores, a significant difference was found between the two groups (table 2).Table 1. Clinical characteristics of study population.Conclusion:Our clinical trial offers preliminary evidence on the superiority of Kinesio-Taping in the treatment chronic back pain compared to placebo concerning the reduction of pain and disability. Thus, it can be used as a complementary method in chronic non-specific low back pain.Table 2.

Introduction. Kinesitherapy (KT) – one of the leading areas of patient care with chronic nonspecific (musculoskeletal pain) low back pain. For chronic lumbar pain, a standard KT is commonly used, that includes group sessions with a medical specialist. Often not taking into account the individual characteristics of patients, their attitude to KT, does not use a backpain education program in combination with KT (extended KT). Physical activity and hypodynamia are compared in patients with chronic nonspecificlow back pain in standard KT and extended KT.Aim of study is to assess the effectiveness of the standard and extended KT in the enhancement of physical activity.Materials and methods. 71 patients were observed (17 men and 54 women, average age 55.09 ± 13 years) with chronic nonspecific low back pain. Patients received non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as painkillers. 34 patients received a standard KT, 37 patients – an extended KT. Patients were asked to complete the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) at baseline, after 7 days and 90 days.Results and discussion. In the extended KT group, physical activity increased from 11 (7–16) points to 16 (13–19) points after 7 days (p = 0.001) and up to 23 (15–26) points after 3 months (p = 0.0002). There has been a statistically significant decrease in the proportion of patients with hypodynamy (p = 0.0015). There is no statistically significant increase in physical activity in the standard therapy group. The use of NSAIDs in non-specific low back pain is discussed, the effectiveness of the use of dexketoprofen (Dexalgin) during lumbar pain is noted.Conclusion. In the case of nonspecific low back pain, the extended KTimprovesphysical activity and reduce hypodynamy.
