What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Trunk muscle endurance

    Trunk muscle endurance with McGill's trunk muscle endurance tests (seconds) was assessed

    Time frame: Change from Baseline taping at 1 hour after the taping

Secondary outcomes

  1. Postural stability

    Postural stability as static using a force platform when eyes open and eyes closed was assessed

    Time frame: Change from Baseline taping at 1 hour after the taping
