Kinesiotaping on HP Patients Pulmonary Parameters

"The Kinesio tape will be applied anteriorly and posteriorly along the subcostal region to facilitate the respiratory muscles. Anteriorly, an I-shaped Kinesio tape will be applied with the base anchored on the xiphoid process, stretched to 50-75% tension, applied only to the linea alba. The ends of the tape will be applied without tension toward the subcostal curvature. Posteriorly, a second I-shaped Kinesio tape will be applied. The base of the tape will be anchored on the spinous process of the 12th thoracic vertebra with 50-75% tension, and the tails will be applied without tension toward the ribs"
