Effects of Kinesio Taping on Pain, Endurance, Proprioception, Mobility and Disability in Lumbar Disc Herniation

Routine physical therapy program (10 sessions of hotpack, Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and ultrasound every day for 2 weeks) was applied. In addition to routine treatment, I taping (a total of 5 times every 3 days) was performed. Two I-shaped kinesio tapings were applied on the paraspinal muscles from the posterior superior iliac spine to the T12 level. 50% tension was applied to the area of the tapes outside the anchor points.

Routine physical therapy program (10 sessions of hotpack, Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and ultrasound every day for 2 weeks) was applied. In addition to routine treatment, star taping (a total of 5 times every 3 days) was performed. Four I tapes, one vertical, one horizontal and two at a 45° angle to the vertical tape, were applied to the point of maximum pain in the lumbar region. 25% tension was applied to the midpoint of the tapes except for the ends.
