Chest Wall Injury Clinical Trial
Official title:
Infuence of Kinesiotaping on Pulmonary Function Improvement in Multiple Rib Fracture
Elastic tapes, named "kinesiotapes" have a limited, but proven influence on pain reduction, improvement in muscular strength and joint function. It can be hypothetised that by using kinesiotape techniques on damaged chest wall (due to mostly rib fracture) we can improve not only analgesia, but also improve lung function tests and speed recovery.
Chest wall injury changes the function of chest wall muscles and other structures, which in turn influences respiratory function and cause significant pain. Elastic tapes, named "kinesiotapes" have a limited, but proven influence on pain reduction, improvement in muscular strength and joint function. It can be hypothetised that by using kinesiotape techniques on damaged chest wall (due to mostly rib fracture) we can improve not only analgesia, but also improve lung function tests and speed recovery. ;
