Summary

Kinesiotaping is increasingly being used as a complement to musculoskeletal pain management. This study aimed to evaluate the immediate clinical efficacy of kinesiotaping on pain and pain-related symptoms of Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease (LCPD).

Detailed description

Kinesio taping is increasingly being used as a complement to musculoskeletal pain management. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted. Activity-related hip pain, passive and pain limited hip range of motion, gluteus medius muscle strength, function and balance were assessed.

Conditions

• Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Kinesiotaping	Two I-strips were used: 1. The first-third of one I-strip began at the posterior iliac crest, without tension as an anchor. Then the patient actively flexed and adducted the affected hip, thus, the middle-third of the tape was applied with approximately 50% tension. Then the hip was set in its original position and the last-third of the tape ended approximately greater trochanter without tension. 2. The first-third of the second I-strip was applied starting at the anterior iliac crest, without tension as an anchor. The patient actively extended and adducted the affected hip, thus, the middle-third of the tape was applied with approximately 50% tension. Then the hip was set in its original position and the last-third of the tape ended approximately greater trochanter without tension.
OTHER	Sham taping	A single I-strip without tension in tape or muscle stretch. After paper backing was completely removed, tape was essentially placed on the skin across the lateral side of the hip.
