Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of kinesiotape technique applied in different tensions on pain tolerance (PT) of healthy university students. 100 healthy and volunteer male individuals studying at Mugla Sitki Kocman University Faculty of Health Sciences will participate in the research. Study protocol was approved by the ethics committee of Mugla Sitki Kocman University. The study is designed as a randomized, controlled, double-blind study to be performed on 4 groups consisting of 25 individuals in each group (No tension(Placebo), and 50%, 75%, 100% tensions of Kinesiotape). Kinesiotape will be applied over lateral epicondyle of the dominant extremities with diamond shape technique by a KTAI®certified physiotherapist. PT's will be measured with J-Tech algometer before, immediately and 30 minutes after taping by a different physiotherapist who will be blind to taping tension.

Conditions

  • PRESSURE PAIN THRESHOLD
  • PAIN TOLERANCE
  • KINESIOTAPING

Interventions

OTHER

PLACEBO

The diamond shape technique, which is a kinesio tape technique, will be used in the lateral epicondyle region. The ends of the kinesiotapes will be applied tension-free without overlapping.

OTHER

50% TENSION GROUP

Kinesiotape will be applied to the lateral epicondyle region with 50% tension.

OTHER

75% TENSION GROUP

Kinesiotape will be applied to the lateral epicondyle region with 75% tension.

OTHER

100% TENSION GROUP

Kinesiotape will be applied to the lateral epicondyle region with 100% tension.
