Brief Summary
|
Participants
will be recruited based on the inclusion criteria in the proposed study setting. Explanation
of the study procedure and the informed consent of the participant will be
taken. Using
Simple Randomization (Lottery method) we categorize the patients into control
group and experiment group. For
the Experiment group we do a F8WT and note down the time taken in seconds,
number of steps, accuracy. We apply the Kinesio tape in a facilitatory method
to erector spinae muscles,internal and external oblique muscles and latissimus
dorsi bilaterally and we retake the F8WT and compare the values. For
the Control group we do a F8WT and note down the time taken in seconds, numbers
of steps, accuracy. We apply the Kinesio tape without any stretch on erector
spinae, internal and external oblique muscles and latissimus dorsi muscles
bilaterally and we retake the F8WT
