Details and patient eligibility

About

Aim of the study was to investigate the effect of Kinesio taping application on upper trapezius muscle after cervical spine surgery.

Full description

Patients will be randomly divided into three groups. The first group will receive conservative treatment and Kinesio Taping application. The second group will receive conservative treatment and the third group will receive only Kinesio taping application. The treatment procedure will continue for post-operatively three days and assessments will be done four times; before the surgery, post-operative 1st day, postoperative 3rd day and two weeks after surgery. Data will be recorded on patient assessment file and transferred to the computer. Data analysis will be performed with SPSS.22.

90 participants in 3 patient groups

Group 1: Kinesio Taping and Conventional treatment
Experimental group
Description:
The number of participants in this group is anticipated to be 30. The treatment method for this group is the conventional treatment + KT (Kinesio Taping) relaxation technique (muscle inhibition technique). In the conventional treatment therapeutic exercises (active and passive Range Of Motion (ROM) and strengthening exercise of the neck and shoulder) and TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) applications on the painful area, every day and 2 channels with 4 electrodes in the acute period (first 72 hours) will be applied. These exercises will be taught to participants from the first treatment session and will be performed under the supervision of a physiotherapist. In KT technique, while participants are sitting on the edge of the bed, the shoulder area will be depressed and I banding will be done by applying 25-50% tension horizontally in this position on the upper trapezius muscle.
Treatment:
Other: Kinesio Taping
Other: Conventional treatment
Group 2: Conventional treatment
Active Comparator group
Description:
The number of participants in this group are anticipated to be 30. This group will be receiving only conventional treatment. In the conventional treatment therapeutic exercises (active and passive range of motion (ROM) and strengthening exercise of the neck and shoulder) and TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) applications on the painful area, every day and 2 channels with 4 electrodes in the acute period (first 72 hours) will be applied. These exercises will be taught to participants from the first treatment session and will be performed under the supervision of a physiotherapist.

Other: Conventional treatment
Group 3: Kinesio Taping

Description:

In kinesio taping technique while participants are sitting on the edge of the bed, the shoulder area will be depressed and I banding will be done by applying 25-50% tension horizontally in this position on the upper trapezius muscle.
