Placebo Comparator
Star tape
I Tape
Group 1 ( n=35) was applied with the star technique. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to evaluate pain before taping, immediately after taping and 4 days after taping, Oswestry low back pain disability scale (OLBPDS) to assess disability level, Lumbar Flexion Repeat Speed Test, Sit-and-Stand Test to evaluate functional performance in both groups. Biering Sorenson Test was applied to evaluate the forward bending test with weight and trunk endurance. Individuals in both groups were told to continue with their daily lives while on the tapes. It was stated that the bands should stay on the applied area for 4 days, that they can have a bath while the bands are on, and that if the bands are uncomfortable or excessive itching on the skin, the individuals can remove the bandage with an oily solution. No itching, redness, or allergic reactions was observed in either group.
