Summary

This study was conducted to determine the effects of kinesiotaping (KT) and sham KT applied with exercise program on clinical parameters such as pain, sleep, and quality of life in postmenopausal women with chronic low back pain. A randomized controlled experimental design, characteristic of quantitative research, was utilized. The subjects consisted of 60 postmenopausal women. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used as data collection tools.

Conditions

  • Chronic Low-back Pain (cLBP)

Interventions

OTHER

Kinesiotape application

Kinesiotape application will be performed by a certified researcher using 5cm x 5cm kinesiotape material. The standing patient, prepared in terms of clothing and skin, will be asked to lean forward. While adhering the tape to the right paravertebral region, the lower end of the tape will be adhered 7 cm below the sacroiliac joint at the level of the paravertebral muscles. The patient, still leaning forward, will be then asked to make a slight rotation to the left; in this position, the tape will be adhered upwards on the paravertebral muscles without any tension. For the left paravertebral region, the procedure will be reversed as compared to the right, ensuring that the tape was not stretched at all.

OTHER

Exercise

Patients will be given a 30-day home exercise program. This consists of passive lumbar flexion (single and double leg stretching), hamstring stretching, pelvic tilt, half sit-up, bridge, straight leg raises, and hip and back extensor strengthening exercises.
