Abstract

Forward head posture is one of the most recognized types of poor head and neck alignment. Poor head and neck alignment posture is a major contributor to compromised balance and neck pain, due to abnormal joint position sense and proprioception. Kinesio taping is an intervention method used clinically for the management of pain. Kinesio taping may produce its effects through pain reduction, stimulation of blood circulation, induction of muscle relaxation which provides correction of joint position, and providing stability to the muscles and joints without limiting the range of motion. Many studies have proved that kinesio taping has positive effects on the reduction of pain and improves alignment, on the other hand, some studies have not found. Kinesio taping may provide immediate pain relief and improved alignment following the application, but there is insufficient evidence to support sustained relief beyond that time and they recommended future studies to examine the benefits of kinesio taping as this would have a greater value in clinical practice. Therefore, this study is to investigate the effects of kinesio taping on the alignment of head posture and dynamic balance ability in people with forward head posture.

전방머리자세는 머리와 목의 잘못된 자세 정렬 중 하나로 비정상적인 관절 위치감각과 고유수용성 감각손상으로 인해 목의 통증과 균형 손상까지 발생시키는 주요 원인으로 알려져 있다. 키네시오 테이핑은 통증관리를 위해 사용되는 임상적인 중재방법으로 통증감소, 혈액순환 촉진, 근육이완을 유도하여 관절 위치 교정 및 근육과 관절에 안정성을 제공하는 효과를 가지고 있다. 이전의 많은 연구에서 키네시오 테이핑을 활용하여 목 통증감소와 목의 정렬에 긍정적인 효과가 있음을 입증하였지만 일부 연구에서는 통증 완화의 효과를 입증하지 못한 부분도 있다. 키네시오 테이핑 적용 후 즉각적인 통증완화 및 정렬 개선에 효과를 보이긴 하지만 적용이후 효과의 지속에 대해서는 증거가 충분하지 않고 임상적으로 더 큰 가치를 보이기 위해서는 키네시오 테이핑의 장점에 대해서 추가적인 연구를 권장하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 앞머리 자세를 가진 사람에서 키네시오 테이핑이 머리 자세의 정렬과 동적 균형 능력에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 한다.
