Summary
RATIONALE: Low again ache has a major socioeconomic affect. Repetitive lifting, with mixed twisting and flexion motions of the lumbar backbone, will increase the chance for low-back ache and harm to the supporting tissues.
PATIENT CONCERNS: A 60-year-old male who introduced with acute low-back ache, with a ache depth of 6/10 on the visible analog scale (VAS) and an Oswestry incapacity index (ODI) rating of 70%. The vary of movement (ROM) of the lumbar backbone on preliminary examination, relative to the conventional peak ROM, was as follows: extension, 12°/30°; flexion, 15°/80°; left rotation, 15°/45°; and proper rotation, 25°/45°.
DIAGNOSES: He was recognized as acute nonspecific low-back ache sustained with repetitive lifting, combining motions of flexion and twisting.
INTERVENTIONS: The stability taping was utilized for 16?h/day, on common, for three consecutive days was used as the first therapy to handle the affected person’s low-back ache.
OUTCOMES: The applying of stability taping elevated the vary of movement of the lumbar backbone as follows: flexion, from 15° to 77°; extension, from 12° to 27°; proper rotation, from 25° to 45°; and left rotation, from 15° to 45°. The ODI rating decreased from 70% to zero%, and the VAS rating from 6/10 to zero.
LESSONS: We suggest that stability taping utilizing kinesiology tape might function a complementary strategy to different therapies for the therapy of acute nonspecific low-back ache.
