Brief summary (from the registry)
This clinical trial aims to examine kinesiotape's (KT) short-term effect on individuals with nonspecific chronic LBP (CLBP), including back-specific body perception, pain, functional disability, and physical activity. The hypothesis is that applying KT to the lumbar spine would improve back-specific body perception, reduce pain and functional disability, and increase physical activity in individuals with CLBP compared to the sham-taping group.
