Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of Kinesio Taping with lattice shapes on pregnancy-related low back pain (PLBP). Methods From March, 2017 to April, 2018, 56 patients with PLBP were randomly divided into the control group (n = 28) and experimental group (n = 28). Both groups received the core stability training, while the experimental group accepted Kinesio Taping with lattice shapes additionally. They were assessed with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Roland-Morris Dysfunction Questionnaire (RMDQ), range of lumbar activity and torso angle before, three days and two weeks after treatment. Results The range of lumbar activity improved significantly in both groups (t > 6.327, P < 0.01) three days after treatment, while the scores of VAS and RMDQ, and the torso angle improved significantly in the experimental group (t > 4.862, P < 0.001). The scores of VAS and RMDQ, the range of lumbar activity, and the torso angle improved significantly in both groups two weeks after treatment (P < 0.001), and improved more in the experimental group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Kinesio Taping with lattice shapes combined with core stability training can further reduce the lower back pain and improve the function for the PLBP patients.
