Being tested: Kinesio taping, Sham Kinesio taping

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Kinesio tapingOther
Kinesio taping was applied on both sides of rectus abdominus, obliquus internus, obliquus externus and sacrospinalis muscles with muscle technique
Sham Kinesio tapingOther
Kinesio taping was applied on both sides of rectus abdominus, obliquus internus, obliquus externus and sacrospinalis muscles without any technique

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Trunk muscle endurance
Trunk muscle endurance with McGill's trunk muscle endurance tests (seconds) was assessed
Measured: Change from Baseline taping at 1 hour after the taping

Secondary outcomes (1)

Postural stability
Postural stability as static using a force platform when eyes open and eyes closed was assessed
Measured: Change from Baseline taping at 1 hour after the taping
