Abstract<br />

Objective<br />

This study analysis the effect of Medical Taping on patients with infantile and juvenile<br />

idiopathic scoliosis.<br />

Methods<br />

A literature research and a pilot study were used to analyse the effects of medical<br />

taping. In this study three subjects with infantile of juvenile idiopathic scoliosis were<br />

taped. The subjects were analysed by rasterstereographical measurement (Diers<br />

formetric 4D).<br />

Results<br />

The results of this study show that Medical Tape has an effect on scoliosis. This effect<br />

can both be positive and negative but seems difficult to handle. One of three subjects<br />

showed correction concerning the scoliosis whereas in the other two subjects the<br />

reference measurement, their posture without tape intervention, showed the best<br />

results.<br />

Conclusion<br />

This study shows that Medical Taping can be used in idiopathic scoliosis treatment. To<br />

give an purposeful evidence-based pratice treatment further research must be made.<br />

These studies should be focused on both the intermuscular procces in idiopathic<br />

scoliosis and the effect of Medical Tape on the skeletal muscles.<br />
