Abstract

Kinesio taping is one of the elastic bandage methods which has been quite popular in the last 20 years and has been applied in various musculoskeletal conditions. Although the mechanism of action is not clear, many theories have been suggested so far. In this case report, we aimed to present the results of kinesiotape application for back pain of the patient with spinal muscular atrophy which is one of the progressive muscular disorders. It was performed for three times with four days interval. Fascial technique B (Space technique) was applied. Reduce of pain was also observed during the subsequent applications. The application of kinesio taping could be beneficial on reducing the pain in patients with progressive muscle diseases.

Spinal musküler atrofili bir çocuk hastada kinezyoband uygulanması

Abstract

Kinezyoband son 20 yıldır oldukça popüler olan ve çeşitli kas iskelet sistemi hastalıklarında kullanılan elastik bandajlama metodlarından biridir. Mekanizması tam açık değildir fakat bazı teoriler öne sürülmüştür. Bu olgu sunumunda progresif kas hastalıklarından olan spinal musküler atrofili bir hastada gelişen sırt ağrısına uygulanan kinezyoband sonuçlarını sunmayı amaçladık. Kinezyoband dört gün ara ile üç defa olmak üzere fasyal B tekniğiyle uygulandı. Uygulama sonrası ağrıda azalma sağlandı. Kinezyoband uygulaması progresif kas hastalığı olanlarda ağrı azaltılmasında faydalı olabilir.
