Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the changes in the PEFR values after application of Kinesiotape to rectus abdominis in post abdominal surgery patients. This study was conducted on 30 subjects who underwent abdominal surgery. The study was conducted within 3 days post-surgery. The PEFR levels were recorded before applying kinesiotape using wright peak flow meter.3 readings were taken in sitting position and mean was recorded. Kinesiotape was then applied to the rectus abdominis muscle area over abdomen in the stretch position where the arms were flexed overhead. After application 3 PEFR readings were recorded and mean was calculated. On comparing the pre and post values, there was increase in the PEFR values post application of kinesiotape. Thus this study says that there is immediate effect of Kinesiotaping to rectus abdominis on PEFR in post abdominal surgery subjects.
