Kinesio Tape renkleri hasta algısını etkiler mi? Randomize tek kör çalışma

Abstract

Amaç: Tedavide renkler biyopsikososyal varlık olan insan vücudunu etkileyebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı trapez kas gerginliği olan hastalarda Kinesio Tape renklerinin hasta algısına etkisini belirlemektir.

Yöntem: Randomize tek kör çalışmaya trapez gerginliği olan elli kadın birey (ortalama yaş: 20,84±1,81 yıl, ortalama vücut kitle indeksi: 21,19±3,1 kg/m2) alındı. Çalışmaya başlamadan önce her bir birey için Kinesio Tape renklerinin uygulama sırası rastgele seçildi. Bireylerin dominant taraf gergin trapez kasına beş farklı (kırmızı, mavi, siyah, bej, beyaz) renk Kinesio Taping inhibisyon tekniği ile uygulandı. Her bir renk bantlama uygulamasından sonra bireylere nasıl hissettikleri (hiç bir şey, ılık, soğuk, güçlü, ferah, vs) soruldu. Hasta algısını değerlendirmek için Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) anketi kullanıldı.

Bulgular: Bireylerin hissettikleri, kırmızı bant için: % 30 hiç bir şey, % 26 ılık, mavi bant için: % 32 ılık, % 24 hiçbir şey, siyah bant için: % 24 hiçbir şey, % 22 ılık, bej bant için: % 26 ılık, % 20 hiçbir şey, beyaz bant için: % 34 ılık, % 20 hiçbir şey idi. Sonuçlarımız, tüm Kinesio Tape renklerinin hasta algısında fark yaratmadığını gösterdi (p>0.05).

Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, tedavide kullanılan bantların renkleri bireylerin hislerini etkileyebilmektedir. Fakat trapez gerginliğinde renklerin farkı bulunmamaktadır. Tedavinin etkisini arttırmak için hasta memnuniyeti ve beğenisi göz önüne alınmalıdır.

Are the Kinesio Tape colors effective for patient perception? A randomized single blind trial

Abstract

Purpose: Colors may affect the human body as a bio-psycho-social being in treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Kinesio Tape colors for patient perception in patients with tight trapezius muscle.

Methods: Fifty female patients (mean age was 20.84±1.81 years, mean body mass index was 21.19±3.1 kg/m2) with tight trapezius were enrolled in this randomized single blind trial. The order of application for Kinesio Tape colors were randomly selected for each subject before the study began. Five different (red, blue, black, beige, white) colors were applied to subjects’ dominant side tight trapezius muscle with using Kinesio Taping muscle inhibition technique. Subjects’ were asked how they feel after each color of taping (none, warm, cool, powerful, fresh etc.). Patient Global Impression of Change was used for evaluation of patient perception.

Results: Subjects’ percentages of feelings were for red tape; 30% none, 26% warm, for blue tape; 32% warm, %24 none, for black tape; 24% none, 22% warm, for beige tape; 26% warm, 20% none, for white tape; 34% warm, 20% none. Our results showed that there was no difference in patient perception for all type of Kinesio Tape colors (p>0.05).

Conclusion: As a result, the color of treating tape may affect the feelings of subjects. But there was no difference between colors in tight trapezius muscle. Patient satisfaction and admiration should be considered in order to enhance the effect of treatment.
