About

This study perform to investigate the the acute effects of trunk kinesiotaping on trunk strength, trunk endurance, balance and plantar pressure.

Full description

Body; It is an integral part of the body for spinal stability, postural control, proprioceptive stimuli, and energy transfer between the upper and lower extremities. Increasing trunk muscle endurance, strength and proprioception; It is of great importance in body function.

In this study, kinesiotape will apply to the trunk flexsor and extensor muscles using the muscle facilitation techniques. Also placebo taping will apply on the same muscles with same kinesiotape without any stretching or positioning. A total of 4 applications including kinesiotaping and placebo taping will perform randomly in 4 consecutive days.

For each subject; A total of 5 separate evaluations will perform on the first day (without taping) and following 4 consecutive days. Between the taping and evaluation of the subjects will wait for 30-45 minutes.

The aim of the study is to determine the effect of kinesio taping (KB) applied to different trunk muscles on various parameters.
