Background: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has many symptoms include persistent airway inflammation and a consistent reduction in lung function. Kinesio-taping (KT) is a relatively recent treatment approach for COPD. We propose that applying KT to the thorax and abdomen could have positive effects in restoring respiratory muscle function. Methods: This was a single-blinded, randomized experimental trial. The study was conducted with 12 male patients diagnosed with mild-to-moderate COPD, divided into two experimental groups (n = 6). Group A received expiratory muscle Kinesio taping (abdominal muscle) plus breathing exercises (pursed lip and diaphragmatic breathing), and group B received inspiratory muscle taping (diaphragm, scalenes, external intercostal muscle) plus breathing exercises (pursed lip and diaphragmatic breathing). Deep breathing exercises were individually provided to the patients (two times per day for 14 days), and KT was changed every seven days by the same therapist. Assessment modalities was done before and after intervention to measure outcomes. primary outcomes were (Sao2 and dyspnea scale) and secondary outcomes were (chest expansion and 6MWT). Result After intervention, the mean SaO2 in group B increased by 1.1 %, while the mean SaO2 in group A increased by 0.5 %. The mean value of upper chest expansion in group B increased by 3.2 cm, whereas the mean value of upper chest expansion in group A increased by 0.83 cm. The mean value of lower chest expansion in group B increased by 0.5 cm, whereas the mean value of lower chest expansion in group A increased by 0.84 cm. The Mean value of the 6 MWT in group B increased by 28.7m, while the mean value of the 6 MWT in group A increased by 27.6 m. Conclusion: The results indicated that kinesiology taping applied to inspiratory muscles (Diaphragm-scalene-external intercostal) and Expiratory muscles(abdominal) lead to improvement in muscle performance evident by slight improvement secondary outcomes (chest expansion and 6MWT) in both groups.
