Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of Kinesio Taping in patient with chronic low back pain.

Pretest-posest Experimental-control group design.

90 subjects were randomly assigned into two groups. Experimental group received trunk stabilization exercise along with the kinesio taping whereas control group received trunk stabilization exercise without kinesio taping. Transverse abdominis activation capacity, Pain and functional disability were measured at 0 week, 2nd week, 4th week, 6th week and 8th week.

Trunk stabilization exercise along with Kinesio Taping significantly improves the transverse abdominis activation capacity, reduces pain and functional disabilty.

from the result we may conclude that trunk stabilization exercise along with the Kinesio Taping is more effective than trunk stabilization exercise without Kinesio Taping in rehabilitation of patient with chronic low back pain.
