This study evaluated whether the use of kinesio taping (KT) would enhance the effect of physical therapy in relieving pain, improving muscle endurance, and boosting functional capacity in adolescents with hemophilia who experience low back pain.
Forty-five adolescents with hemophilia (age; 10-13 years) assigned randomly into three treatment arms; KT applied paraspinal alongside a physical exercise program conducted three times/week for three successive months (KT group; n=15), placebo taping plus physical exercise (Placebo group; n=15), or physical exercise only (Control group; n=15). Lower back pain, back muscle endurance, and functional capacity assessed pre- and post-treatment.
Lower back pain reduced significantly in the KT group as compared to the control group (P=.001), but not to the placebo group (P=.19). Back muscle endurance increased significantly in the KT group relative to either the placebo (P=.004) or the control group (P=.043). Additionally, functional capacity improved significantly in the KT group as compared to the control (P=.039) group but not to the placebo group (P=.58).
KT is an effective adjunctive therapy to reduce lower back pain, improve back muscle endurance, and enhance functional capacity in adolescents with hemophilia.
本研究旨在评估运动贴扎（KT）的使用是否能增强物理治疗在缓解疼痛、提高肌肉耐力和增强患有腰痛的青少年血友病患者的功能能力方面的效果。
45 名青少年血友病患者（年龄 10-13 岁）随机分为三组治疗组：KT 贴扎于脊柱两侧，与每周三次的连续三个月的物理运动方案同时进行（KT 组，n=15）；安慰剂贴扎加物理运动（安慰剂组，n=15）；或仅进行物理运动（对照组，n=15）。治疗前后评估下腰痛、腰背肌肉耐力和功能能力。
KT 组的下腰痛明显低于对照组（P=.001），但与安慰剂组无差异（P=.19）。KT 组的腰背肌肉耐力明显高于安慰剂组（P=.004）和对照组（P=.043）。此外，KT 组的功能能力明显优于对照组（P=.039），但与安慰剂组无差异（P=.58）。
KT 是一种有效的辅助治疗方法，可减轻青少年血友病患者的腰痛，提高腰背肌肉耐力，增强功能能力。
