Recruiting NCT05753982

Infuence of Kinesiotaping on Pulmonary Function Improvement in Multiple Rib Fracture

Conditions: Chest Wall Injury

Sex: All

Ages: 18 Years – 65 Years

Phase: NA

Enrollment: 40

Sponsor: University Medical Centre Ljubljana

Location: Slovenia

Summary

Elastic tapes, named "kinesiotapes" have a limited, but proven influence on pain reduction, improvement in muscular strength and joint function. It can be hypothetised that by using kinesiotape techniques on damaged chest wall (due to mostly rib fracture) we can improve not only analgesia, but also improve lung function tests and speed recovery.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:Unilateral chest wall injury with multiple rib fracture (< 5 ribs)Signed informed consentExclusion Criteria:MinorsPregnant womenContraindications of using kinesiotapesContraindications to perform spirometry (lung function tests)Inability to cooperateChest drainsPneumothorax
