Facilitation Tape

Mechanical Correction Tape

No Tape

Arm Description

Diaphragm and Intercostal muscles will be taped with facilitation technique. After 30 minutes of application patients will be evaulated for pulmonary parameters, functional exercise capacity and dyspnea.

Thorax will be taped with mechanical correction technique. After 30 minutes of application patients will be evaulated for pulmonary parameters, functional exercise capacity and dyspnea.

Patients will be evaulated for pulmonary parameters, functional exercise capacity and dyspnea with no tape.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Pulmonary Function Test

Pulmonary functions will be evaulated in laboratory conditions. Dynamic lung volumes will be measured using standardized spirometric measurement regulations established by ATS/ERS guidelines.

Respiratory Muscle Strength

Respiratory muscle strenght will be measured as Maximum Inspiratory Pressure & Maximum Expiratory Pressure with MicroMPM device. Measuring procedure will be held according to ERS guidelines. Measurements will be interpreted with Black and Hyatt's references.

Functional Exercise Capacity

Functional exercise capacity will be measured with 6-minute walk test. Cardiovascular paremeters, dyspnea, respiratory rate and fatigue will be evaulated before, during and after the test .

Dyspnea

Dyspnea in daily living was evaluated by the Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale. The scale consists in five statements that describe almost the entire range of dyspnea from none (Grade 0) to almost complete incapacity (Grade 4). Higher scores indicates increased dyspnea perception.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Perception of Disease

COPD Assesment Test (CAT) will be used to evaulate patients perception of symptoms.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary

Study will investigate effects of two different kinesio taping techniques on pulmonary parameters of patients with COPD.

Detailed Description

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is an irreversible, progressive, treatable airway disease which causes dyspnea, wheezing, coughing and increased secretions in airways. Thoracic and respiratory mechanics are impaired, respiratory muscle strength and functional exercise capacity is decreased in patients with COPD. As a result dyspnea, limitation in activities of daily living, postural impairments, muscle length-strength relationship changes and increased mechanical loads on respiratory muscles occur. In literature it has been demonstrated that Kinesio Taping have therapeutic effects on respiratory functions and functional exercise capacity in patients with chronic neurological diseases who has additional respiratory impairments. Although there are several studies in literature investigating the effects of facilitation and inhibition taping techniques applied on respiratory muscles in patients with COPD, effects of thoracic and postural mechanical correction techniques as an alternative treatment modality in patients with COPD have not been investigated yet. In present study, effects of thoracic mechanical correction and facilitation taping techniques in patients with COPD will be investigated, and data will be collected for effects of thoracic mechanical correction taping on pulmonary parameters in patients with COPD.

Intervention Name(s)

Kinesio Taping

Intervention Description

Kinesio Taping is a special taping method developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase in 1973. This technique triggers natural healing responses of human body by activating nervous and circulatory systems. The tapes are thin, latex-free, cotton, porous and anti-allergenic, with equal thickness of epidermis. It has elastic properites which allows the tape to elongate to %55-60 of its original lenght. Tape can be used up to 1 week even after sweating or cleaning with water. There are different application techniques for different purposes. Facilitation technique facilitates muscle contractions and supports muscle function. Mechancial correction technique is used for joint positioning and correcting motion of muscle-joint dynamics.
