Summary

The purpose of the study is to search immediate effects of kinesio taping applied to the thoracic region on proprioception, posture and trunk muscle endurance in adult individuals.

Detailed description

Kinesio tape applications are one of the frequently used interventions within the scope of physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Kinesio taping is a non-invasive treatment method performed for several reasons such as reducing pain, relieving abnormal muscle and fascia tension and correcting biomechanical alignment. Kinesio taping consists of muscle, fascia, ligament, mechanic, functional and lymphatic correction techniques depending on therapeutic purposes. Although kinesio tape applications on different regions such as abdomen or neck may have positive effects on posture, proprioception and trunk muscle endurance, there has not been found any study searching the effectiveness of kinesio taping applied to thoracal region on posture, proprioception and trunk muscle endurance in adult individuals. Thus, there is a need to investigate this issue.
