Comparative Effect of Kinesiotape and Rigid Tape with Therapeutic Putty Exercise on Pinch Strenght in Instrumentalists – A Randomized Clinical Trial
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Study objectives- The purpose of this study was to investigate the comparative effect of kinesio tape and rigid tape with therapeutic putty exercises on pinch strength in instrumentalists. Design- Comparative study Settings- All the subjects were included from all music schools of Belgaum city. Method- Total of 30 subjects was recruited for study on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria after signing the informed consent form. Subjects were divided into two groups (A= Kinesio tape and therapeutic putty exercises and B= Rigid tape and therapeutic putty exercises), Kinesio tape and rigid tape application was done on painful hand following which pinch strength and VAS (Visual analogue scale) was measured of affected hand pre and post intervention. Kinesio taping was done for 2-3 days and Rigid tape was applied for 2 days along with therapeutic putty exercises done for 3 weeks with 3 sessions per week for 10-15 min with progressive repetition and measurements were taken again of treated hand. Outcome Measure- Visual analogue scale and pinch gauge dynamometer. Results- The result showed that there was a significant change in group A ieKinseio tape and therapeutic putty exercises as compared to group B ie Rigid tape and therapeutic putty exercises and there was significant change in pain in both the groups with reference to pinch strength in instrumentalist. Conclusion- The results suggest that application of Kinesio tape along with therapeutic putty exercises has effect on pain and pinch strength in instrumentalist. Further studies involving a larger sample of subjects and a same condition are warranted to confirm our findings
