Effect of Posterior Pelvic Tilt Taping on Abdominal Muscle Thickness and Lumbar Lordosis in Individuals With Chronic Low Back Pain and Hyperlordosis: A Single-Group, Repeated-Measures Trial

Effect of Posterior Pelvic Tilt Taping on Pelvic Inclination, Muscle Strength, and Gait Ability in Stroke Patients: A Randomized Controlled Study

“…They reported that as stimulation to mechanoreceptors activates nerve impulses, the strength of the abdominal muscles increases, and consequently, the anterior pelvic tilt decreases [17]. In addition, Bozorgmehr et al argued that the length-tension relationship of the muscle could be optimized as the application of taping can continuously pull the fascia concentrically and shorten the distance between the muscle origin and insertion, and this could have a positive effect on the joint alignment [18]. The reason the anterior pelvic tilt decreased in this study is thought to be because, as in the previous study, the attachment method, which increases the elasticity of the tape, stimulates the skin's mechanoreceptors to activate the muscles involved in the posterior tilt of the pelvis, such as the RA and EO.…”

“…In addition, the PPTT group applied posterior pelvic tilt taping. For mechanical correction, a 5-centimeter-wide tape was extended to 50-75% of its original length and attached to both rectus abdominis (RA) and external oblique (EO) muscles [18]. First, the pelvis was tilted posteriorly in the side-lying position and then attached to the EO muscle from the inguinal region to the spinous process of T12.…”

“…Taping is applied in combination with other therapeutic techniques to strengthen weakened muscles, regulate joint instability, assist postural alignment, reduce pain, improve blood flow and lymphatic circulation, relieve spasticity, and strengthen muscle function [12][13][14]. Additionally, studies have reported that pelvic inclination decreases when taping is applied for posture correction [15][16][17][18][19]. Lee et al reported that a significant difference occurred in the pelvic inclination angle when seated workers were divided into a group in which anterior pelvic tilt taping was applied and a group in which it was not, and a slumped sitting posture was maintained for 30 min [16].…”

“…Therefore, it was determined that taping can help prevent the musculoskeletal problems caused by an awkward sitting posture [16]. In a study in which posterior pelvic tilt taping was applied for a week to patients experiencing lower-back pain with hyperlordosis, it was found that lumbar lordosis, pain, disability, and abdominal thickness were improved compared to the control group [18]. They said that the skin irritation due to the tape would have improved the abdominal strength by allowing more units of exercise to be mobilized [18].…”

“…37 These methods can potentially optimize the relationship between muscle length and tension as taping can continuously pull the fascia concentrically and shorten the distance between the origin and insertion of the muscle. 38 In the future, we would like to consider the use of taping as one of the treatment options to improve SAD. Appropriate diet and exercise regimens to improve SAD should also be considered in future studies.…”
