Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Back Pain
Back Pain will be measured via numerical pain rating scale. A higher score signifies greater pain.
Postural Stability
Postural Stability will be measured via Biodex Balance System. A higher score signifies poorer stability.
Disability
Disability will be measured via Oswestry Disability Index. A higher score signifies poorer outcome.
Gait velocity
velocity of gait will be measured via gait analysis.
Stride length
Stride length of gait will be measured via gait analysis.
Cadence
Cadence of gait will be measured via gait analysis.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, the prevalence of low back pain can be as high as 43%. Past research has shown the positive effects of Kinesio taping in patients with chronic and nonspecific low back pain in pain reduction, improvement in postural stability, and improvement in function. However, no study has yet evaluated the effects of KT in persons with discogenic LBP. If found to be effective KT can be prescribed as a conservative & cost-effective treatment for patients with discogenic low back pain.
