Abstract

In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of a taping method to relieve low back pain (LBP) by comparing changes in visual analog scale (VAS) and disability index (Disa) between untreated, control, and treated groups. As a result, the efficacy of taping was confirmed in both the control and treatment groups. ANOVA analysis of VAS revealed significant differences between groups, and post hoc tests revealed significant differences in the untreated group and both the control and treatment groups, but no significant differences between the control and treatment groups. This demonstrates similar effectiveness of both taping methods on alleviating LBP. For Disa, ANOVA showed a significant difference, but post hoc tests did not confirm this. The within-group t-test showed significant differences in VAS and Disa in the control and treatment groups before and after the intervention, but not in the untreated group. This study highlights the efficacy of taping for LBP and suggests that both methods can be used clinically. Future studies should use larger samples and different conditions to verify these findings.

이 연구는 비처치군, 대조군, 처치군 간의 Visual Analog Scale (VAS)와 Disability Index (Disa)의 변화를 비교하여 요통(LBP) 완화를 위한 테이핑 방법의 효과를 평가하였다. 결과는 대조군과 처치군 모두에서 테이핑의 효과를 확인했다. VAS의 ANOVA 분석에서는 그룹 간 유의미한 차이가 나타났으며, 사후 검정에서는 비처치군과 대조군, 비처치군과 처치군 간에 유의미한 차이가 나타났으나, 대조군과 처치군 간에는 유의미한 차이가 없었다. 이는 두 테이핑 방법이 요통 완화에 유사한 효과를 나타낸다는 것을 의미한다. Disa의 경우, ANOVA에서는 유의미한 차이가 나타났지만, 사후 검정에서는 이러한 차이를 확인하지 못했다. 그룹 내 t-검정에서는 대조군과 처치군에서 VAS와 Disa의 처치 전후 차이가 유의미하게 나타났지만, 비처치군에서는 유의미하지 않았다. 이 연구는 요통 완화를 위한 테이핑의 효과를 강조하며, 두 방법이 임상에서 활용될 수 있음을 시사한다. 향후 연구에서는 더 큰 샘플과 다양한 조건을 사용하여 이러한 결과를 검증해야 한다.
