Summary

Kinesiotaping is used as a physiotherapy method to reduce muscle pain. In this technique, kinesiotaping tapes are attached to the relevant parts of the body. Patients experience serious pain in rib fractures. Kinesiotaping technique can potentially reduce pain by contributing to external stabilization of the ribs. In this study, patients with isolated rib fractures will be divided into two groups. The first group will be treated with kinesiotaping technique and routine painkillers. The second group will receive routine painkiller treatment. Pain scores between both groups will be compared.
