Abstract

Objective: The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining kinesio taping metheod in rehabilitation of patients with subacute low back pain. Methods: Intervention study with control group. Physical therapy treatments for two groups included electrical stimulation, massage and ultrasound therapy, exercise training and the intervention group used kinesio taping method. The two groups were evaluated at baseline, 3 days, 7 days, and 2 weeks after intervention. The outcome measures included VAS pain score, lumbar spine range of motion and the lumbar spine’s angle of motion. Results: In the intervention group with Kinesio tape, there was an improvement in the percentage of reduced spinal mobility compared to the control group, the difference was statistically significant with p<0.05. There was an improvement in the mean VAS score, spinal range of motion, ODI score, and Biering Sorensen Test of the intervention group compared to the control group, however, the difference was not statistically significant with p>0.05. No adverse effects or complications were reported in the intervention group when applying Kinesio tape. Conclusion: The use of kinesio taping in combination with rehabilitation for patients with subacute low back pain is safe and improves lumbar spine range of motion. Additional studies with larger sample sizes are needed to further evaluate the efficacy on other clinical characteristics such as pain reduction, ODI score, etc.
