THE IMMEDIATE EFFECTS OF DYNAMIC TAPING ON ENDURANCE, PAIN, DISABILITY AND MOBILITY IN SPORTS PERSON WITH NONSPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN

Abstract

Evidence suggests that the application of Kinesiology Tape (KT) on sports person with chronic non-specic low back pain is inconclusive. Dynamic tape (DT) is a comparatively new technique, which is gradually being used as an adjunctive technique to treat musculoskeletal problems. To our knowledge, no study has investigated the application of DT in sports person with chronic non-specic low back pain. To compare the immediate effects of Dynamic taping versus Kinesiology Tape (KT) on endurance, pain, disability and mobility in sports person with chronic non-specic low back pain. 30 subjecs with CNLBP were randomly assigned in two groups. Outcomes were measured at pre examine, immediately, and on the third day post-application of tapes. The primary 3 outcomes measurement by of pain, endurance, and disability were check the visual analog scale (VAS), Biering–Sorensen test, and Oswestry disability index (ODI), correspondingly. Secondary outcome measures of mobility were measured by the modied–modied Schober test, respectively. No signicant immediate differences were found between DT and KT in pain, disability, mobility, Enhanced back extensor endurance was observed for the DT group than KT (p = 0.023) and control group (p = 0.006). The DT may result in increases only in spinal extensor endurance among sports person with CNLBP. This result advises that DT controls the processes that lead to back muscle fatigue.
