“…These results are in agreement with a metaanalysis (Xue et al, 2021) showing that kinesiotaping, either alone or in combination with other common therapies, results in greater pain relief and functional improvement in pregnant women with low back pain. Another study stated that for patients with low back pain during pregnancy, progressive muscle relaxation therapy and kinesiotaping can help reduce lower back pain (Chen et al, 2020).…”

“…Musculoskeletal and usually pose a risk of low back pain (Gharaibeh et al, 2018). In a study (Xue et al, 2021) it has been reported that women who suffer from severe low back pain during pregnancy have a very high risk of experiencing recurrent pain during subsequent pregnancies and later in life, therefore the problem of low back pain during pregnancy cannot be resolved. ignored…”

Background: Pregnancy causes physiological changes that affect the musculoskeletal system and usually poses a risk of low back pain. This study aims to analyze the effect of kinesiotaping on reducing low back pain in pregnant women based on the results of a number of previous primary studies. Subjects and Method:This study uses a meta-analysis method with articles searched using the search keywords "Low back pain" OR "pelvic girdle pain" AND "pregnancy" OR "kinesiotaping" OR "kinesio tape" AND "pain reduction" OR "VAS" AND " Randomized Controlled Trial" OR "RCT" from PubMed, google scholar and science direct and processed using RevMan 5.3. The independent variable is kinesiotaping and the dependent variable is low back pain. Results: 9 RCT articles that fit into the inclusion criteria, with a total of 572 samples. Pregnant women with low back pain who received kinesiotaping had an average VAS score of 1.23 units lower than those without kinesiotaping, and the effect was statistically significant (SMD= -1.23; 95% CI -2.30 to -0.16; p= 0.02). In other words, kinesiotaping is effective in reducing low back pain in pregnant women. Conclusion: Kinesio Taping has an effect on reducing low back pain in pregnant women.

“…There was very limited evidence in this systematic review that kinesiotaping plus paracetamol is better than paracetamol alone 63 ; and that kinesiotaping is not better than placebo in reducing pain intensity and disability amongst pregnant women with low back pain 64 . This contradicts consistent evidence suggesting that kinesiotaping is more effective than placebo and/or passive or active interventions such as exercise in reducing pain intensity and/or disability amongst pregnant women with low back pain 109,110 . This contradicting nding could be because the trial included in this systematic review 64 which was not included in the other systematic reviews may have been underpowered to detect any statistical signi cance.…”

Background Majority of pregnant women experience pain and discomfort due to musculoskeletal conditions; with over a quarter experiencing some disability; all of which reduce quality of life during pregnancy. Community-based non-pharmacological interventions are more affordable, accessible, and acceptable, and have the capacity to reduce inequalities. Objectives To summarise community-based non-pharmacological interventions and determine their effectiveness for improving pain, disability, and quality of life amongst pregnant women with musculoskeletal conditions. Search Strategy Twelve bibliographic databases (and reference list of relevant systematic reviews) were searched from inception until March 2022. Selection Criteria All primary studies of community-based non-pharmacological interventions for pregnant women with musculoskeletal conditions reported in English which investigated pain, disability and quality of life were included. Data Collection and Analysis Data were extracted using modified Cochrane’s data extraction template. Studies were appraised using Cochrane Collaboration’s risk of bias tool. Narrative synthesis was used to summarise findings. This review registration number with PROSPERO is CRD42020189535. Main Results 33 studies involving 4,930 pregnant women with low back pain, pelvic pain, and lumbopelvic pain. Osteopathic manipulation plus standard obstetric care produced significantly superior reduction in pain intensity and disability than sham ultrasound therapy plus standard obstetric care amongst pregnant women with low back pain (moderate level of evidence). There was limited or conflicting evidence for other results. Acupuncture was more effective than placebo in reducing disability/sick leave but not pain intensity and quality of life. There was little or no added benefit of craniosacral therapy to standard obstetric care. Exercise and spinal manipulative therapy were equally effective, and better than no treatment. Home versus in-clinic exercise and aquatic versus land-based exercise were similar in effectiveness with conflicting evidence when compared with standard obstetric care. Wide flexible lumbopelvic belts or the addition of textured sacral pad was better than thin rigid lumbopelvic belts, belts without padding, or no belt. Kinesiotaping may not be better than placebo. Effectiveness of self-management programmes was inconsistent. Conclusions Community-based non-pharmacological interventions were better than no treatment and were better or as effective as standard obstetric care in improving pain intensity, disability, and quality of life.

Background: Spinal Cord Injury is a severely disabling disease. In the process of Spinal Cord Injury rehabilitation treatment, improving patients’ walking ability, improving their self-care ability, and enhancing patients’ self-esteem is an important aspect of their return to society, which can also reduce the cost of patients, so the rehabilitation of lower limbs is very important. The lower limb exoskeleton robot is a bionic robot designed according to the principles of robotics, mechanism, bionics, control theory, communication technology, and information processing technology, which can be worn on the lower limb of the human body and complete specific tasks under the user's control. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the lower limb exoskeleton on the improvement of gait function in patients with spinal cord injury. Methods: The following electronic databases will be searched from inception to January 2022: PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, EBSCO, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, Weipu Electronics. In addition, reference lists of the included studies were manually searched to identify additional relevant studies. Randomized controlled trials were collected to examine the effect of lower limb exoskeletons on lower limb functional recovery in spinal cord injury patients. We will consider inclusion, select high-quality articles for data extraction and analysis, and summarize the intervention effect of lower limb exoskeletons on the upper limb function of spinal cord injury patients. Two reviewers will screen titles, abstracts, and full texts independently according to inclusion criteria; Data extraction and risk of bias assessment were performed in the included studies. We will use a hierarchy of recommended assessment, development, and assessment methods to assess the overall certainty of the evidence and report findings accordingly. Endnote X8 will be applied in selecting the study, Review Manager 5.3 will be applied in analyzing and synthesizing. Results: The results will provide evidence for judging whether lower limb exoskeletons are effective and safe in improving lower limb function in patients with spinal cord injury. Conclusion: Our study will provide reliable evidence for the effect of lower limb exoskeletons on the improvement of lower limb function in spinal cord injury patients. INPLASY registration number: INPLASY202180095.
