Low Back Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Tensiomyography Effects of the Kinesiotape Tension in the Muscular Stiffness of the Low Back Region
Lumbar pain is a quite prevalent pathology in general population within general and sporting
population, which comes to mean high sanitary and sport costs. This concrete pain´s nature
is often unspecific, but it seems that one of the main risk factors that predispose to
suffer from it are changes in the paravertebral-lumbar musculature stiffness.
Since one decade approximately, it has proliferated, especially within sportsmen and women
the use of a therapeutic technique: the neuromuscular bandage best known as Kinesiotape
(KT). This treatment seems to accept different applications, despite there´s still a lack of
scientific evidence for several of its supposed effects. One of the theories about its use
technique is that the bandage strain generates different effects in musculature stiffness.
Thus, when the bandage is applied over the skin with a pre-stretching of the elastic
bandage, it can cause arise of stiffness and strength muscle empowerment. On the other hand,
if the bandage is applied without strain, the opposite result would appear, relaxation and
strength muscle decrease.
For trainers and therapists is important to know if the KT effect differs over the bandage
technique, since the application could be different according to the specific troubles
reported by the athletes. For example, talking about cyclists, who keep constantly a hold
rachis lumbar flexion, could be interesting to normalize the lumbar musculature stiffness,
by placing the bandage with certain strain to achieve a mechanic effect. Nevertheless,
talking about other sports like weightlifting, the bandage effect should be the stiffness
arisen as a preventive measure, for avoiding injuries derived from the lack of motor control
in the lumbar region. These lumbar-region muscle problems affect to popular and majority
sports like football, so lumbar pain is very frequently reported by football players,
normally due to an agonist-antagonist musculature unbalance. In all these terms, the use of
KT would be interesting in order to reduce the musculature strain degree.
Tensiomyography (TMG) is showing as one of the most useful and reliable instrument for the
musculature stiffness assessing, due to its velocity, harmlessness, sensing and high
reproducibility. Taking in consideration that the maximum deformity measured by the TMG is
inversely related with the muscle stiffness, and whereas this project pretends to modify
that stiffness by means of the KT application, it seems obvious that TMG is the most
suitable measurement instrument.
All these precedents considered, the present project pretends to analyze the effects of
different KT strain application along 48 hours with strains techniques of 100%, strain 50%
and strain 0% in the normalization of the paravertebral-lumbar musculature stiffness, by
means of TMG monitoring.
