Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: PURPOSE: Physical therapists are always exposed to work-related musculoskeletal disorders.Although kinesio taping can support the joints and assist movement, studies of the effects of kinesio taping on these physical therapists are lacking.This study examined the effects of Kinesio-taping on pain, grip strength, range of motion and daily living skills in physical therapists with work-related musculoskeletal disorders.Pain was measured using a 100 mm VAS.The grip strength was measured using a handgrip dynamometer.The range of joint motion was measured using a goniometer.Living skills were measured by patient-rated wrist evaluation.
