Effects of Thoracic Kinesiotaping on Pulmonary Function and Functional Capacity of COPD Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating KT and Standardized physiotherapy protocol for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Completed, enrolled 46 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is designed to determine the effects of diaphragmatic kinesiotaping (KT) facilitation technique on pulmonary function, functional capacity and forward head posture of chronic obstructive lung diseases (COPD) patients. The application of KT as an adjunct to conventional protocol in COPD patients if proven effective can enhance the symptom control in COPD patients for improving lung function, posture reducing the perception of dyspnea as well as improving functional capacity.
