Official title
Effect of Kinesiotaping Versus Endurance Exercise on Postmenopausal Non Specific Low Back Pain
Overview
This study will be conducted to determine the effect of kinesiotaping versus endurance exercise on postmenopausal low back pain.
Detailed description
Non-specific back pain is more frequent in women than men, mainly in postmenopausal women. High prevalence of hypovitaminosis D has been detected in postmenopausal women, and it is associated with decreased bone mass, sarcopenia, which can be related to back pain.
Postural control, can be defined as "the ability to maintain the body's center of gravity within the limits of stability as determined by the base of support , Differences in motor behavior between Low Back Pain (LBP) patients and healthy control subjects have been demonstrated in a variety of tasks, e.g. during walking and in response to several perturbations.
Published evidence indicates that LBP patients may have impaired control over trunk posture and movement, Dynamic controls is important in many functional tasks as it requires integration of appropriate levels of proprioception, range of motion, and strength. Endurance exercise is characterized by continues submaximal muscular contractions . It is an effective mean of maintaining or improving cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health, both of which are critical for preserving physiological functioning, independence and improving standing balance.
kinesiotape allows the joint to move through its full range of motion. It has also been reported to increase blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, which leads to a reduction of pain and stimulates large-fibre cutaneous mechanoreceptors that may inhibit proprioceptive impulses in the spinal column and decrease pain via an ascending pathway.
Interventions
- Other Endurance exercise
The exercise-training program will be consisted of 10 minutes warming up, 30 minutes of treadmill walking, and 10 min cooling down three times per week. Warming up: It will be in the form of stretching of muscle groups for 10 minutes (3-5 stretch for the key muscle group (iliopsoas muscle, gluteus maximus ,quadriceps ,tibialis anterior , calf muscle, hold for 20-30 seconds), before the actual aerobic training session. Actual session: Participants will receive aerobic exercises in the form of M - Other Kinesiotaping
The participants will be asked to assume standing position then to flex back to reach its maximum point. * Two bands, 1 on each side of the lumbar spine, will be applied vertically from the lower posterior iliac crest region to the upper twelfth rib region, with inhibition technique. * The remaining 2 bands will be attached horizontally, with space correction technique. * All 4 bands will be placed to allow for 50% longitudinal stretching. The stretching directions for the vertical and horizont
