Summary

The aim of this study is to estimate the effect of Kinesio tape (KT) combined with supervised exercise programs compared to exercise alone on pain, lumbar range of motion, and self-reported disability of adults with mechanical low back pain (LBP).

Methods: This was a randomized, controlled clinical trial carried out on 60 individuals with mechanical LBP. Participants were randomly assigned to the control group (n=30) that received McKenzie exercises for 7 days or experimental group (n=30) that received KT application in addition to McKenzie exercises for 7 days. Pain measured by visual analogue scale, lumbar range of motion, and the disability measured by Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were used as outcome measures. Pre and Post measurements were taken at baseline and after 7 days.

Kinesio Tape Application

Kinesio Tape (KT) application: Participants in the experimental group received additional taping using KT by an experience therapist with prior training in KT application. The tape was applied using the method proposed for the sacrospinalis muscle (Kase, 1996). Y-shaped tape was applied as shown in Figure 1. While the participant was in standing position, the origin of the Y-shaped tape was attached over the centre of the sacrum without stretching the tape and afterward subjects gradually bent forward. A 5-degree angle was maintained within the valley of the Y tape. The tape was changed on the fourth day
