About this study
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.
Read the 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.

| Placebo Group | Placebo comparator | Placebo taping will be applied on arm region Receives: Other: Placebo taping |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Trunk position sense
Inclinometer will be positioned at spinous process of 4th thoracic vertebrae during trunk position sense assessment. Subject will be retreated to neutral position and asked to come back taught position while eyes closed. Test will be repeated 3 times and angle of deviation from 30 degree flexion position will be recorded and the average of the results will be taken.
Measured: immediately after the intervention
Secondary outcomes (4)
Joint position sense of cervical spine
Whereas one side of inclinometer positioned at apex of head, other side will be positioned at spinous process of 7th cervical vertebrae during assessment of cervical spine joint position sense. Subject' head will be brought to 300 flexion from neutral position and will be wanted to learn this position. Subject will be retreated to neutral position and asked to come back taught position while eyes closed. Test will be repeated 3 times and angle of deviation from 300 flexion position will be recorded to subject assessment sheet each repetition and average of the results will be taken.
Measured: immediately after the intervention
Thoracic kyphosis
The assessment of thoracic kyphosis will be done using dual digital inclinometer. In order to evaluate thoracic kyphosis, the angle between first thoracic vertebrae and 12th thoracic vertebrae will be measured. As the angle increases, the degree of kyphosis increases.
Measured: immediately after the intervention
Head-neck posture
Head-neck posture will be evaluated with the measurement of cranio- vertebral angle. The angle between 7th cervical vertebrae and tragus will be measured with goniometer to determine cranio- vertebral angle. As the angle decreases, the forward tilt of the head increases.
Measured: immediately after the intervention
Trunk extensor muscle endurance
Trunk extensor muscle endurance will be evaluated with Biering- Sorensen test.Subjects will be asked to lie down on a bed in prone position while trunk positioned outside of the bed until SIAS (spina illiaca anterior superior) level. Lower extremity will be stabilised by researchers. Initially subjects will be asked to extend their trunk to horizontal position (bed level) and then cross their arms on the chest and hold at this position as long as they would. The duration that subjects stayed at the horizontal position without any movement will be calculated with chronometer and recorded as second.
Measured: immediately after the intervention
