VISUAL BIOFEEDBACK BALANCE CONTROL TRAINING VS. KINESIOLOGY TAPING IN PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM SCIATICA

Low Back Pain (LBP) is commonly classified as civilization disease. Many authors assume that about 80% of the population over forty have at least one major episode pain in lumbar area. those patients demonstrate lumbosacral radicular symptoms. Sciatica usually develop a result disc-root conflict and can disturb posture balance. The objective this study was to assess effect visual biofeedback balance control training suffering from sciatica on This randomized clinical with group, single-blind. Sixty (54% females) age between 20 83 met inclusion exclusion criteria. In experimental group (VBF) addition comprehensive rehabilitation, feedback used. (KT) except rehabilitation kinesiology taping applied within region. For outcome measure center foot pressure deflection, execution time, Bohannon's standing one-leg test, distribution limb loads, Functional Ambulatory Category, Timed Up Go, spine mobility, Laségue symptom, neurological symptom examination Visual Analog Scale has been results: using platform had statistically significant impact leg, gait, coordination pain. Dynamic kinesiotaping COP sway, balance, Feedback more beneficial than dynamic kinesiotaping, although not significant. VBF no effects sway loads observed. No gender, side (left/right) nor BMI Statistically observed both groups below 55. noticed.
