Study summary

This study perform to investigate the the acute effects of trunk kinesiotaping on trunk strength, trunk endurance, balance and plantar pressure.

Read the detailed description

Body; It is an integral part of the body for spinal stability, postural control, proprioceptive stimuli, and energy transfer between the upper and lower extremities. Increasing trunk muscle endurance, strength and proprioception; It is of great importance in body function.

In this study, kinesiotape will apply to the trunk flexsor and extensor muscles using the muscle facilitation techniques. Also placebo taping will apply on the same muscles with same kinesiotape without any stretching or positioning. A total of 4 applications including kinesiotaping and placebo taping will perform randomly in 4 consecutive days.

For each subject; A total of 5 separate evaluations will perform on the first day (without taping) and following 4 consecutive days. Between the taping and evaluation of the subjects will wait for 30-45 minutes.

The aim of the study is to determine the effect of kinesio taping (KB) applied to different trunk muscles on various parameters.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. A kinesthetic ability trainer (Sport KAT Model 650-TS) which shows the balance index scores

    Change of static and dynamic balance

    Time frame: Change of balance from baseline at the end of 30 minutes of each kinesiotaping intervention.

  2. Diagnostic Support Electronic Baropodometry and Milletrix software

    Change of plantar pressure

    Time frame: Change of plantar pressure from baseline at the end of 30 minutes of each kinesiotaping intervention.

  3. Back Leg Chest Dynamometer

    Change of trunk muscles strength

    Time frame: Change of trunk muscles strength from baseline at the end of 30 minutes of each kinesiotaping intervention.

  4. Trunk muscles endurance tests (Modifiye Biering-Sorensen test, trunk flexion endurance test, lateral bridge test, plank test)

    Change of trunk muscles endurance

    Time frame: Change of trunk muscles endurance from baseline at the end of 30 minutes of each kinesiotaping intervention.
