Rigid tape for posture and balance in office workers
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether applying rigid tape (a stiff adhesive tape) to office workers' backs can improve their posture and balance. It may offer a simple, non-drug way to help with the body strain of sitting at a desk all day.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how weightlifters' posture, body awareness (proprioception), core strength, and balance work together. By testing these areas, the researchers hope to understand how to help weightlifters improve performance and avoid injuries.
This study tests whether kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape placed on the back) can improve posture and balance in people with an exaggerated upper back curve (hyperkyphosis). It may help you if you have poor posture or back pain and meet the age and curve requirements.
This study tests whether combining postural exercises with taping can help people with long-term neck pain who work at a desk. It aims to find a simple way to reduce pain and improve comfort.
This study tests whether adding Kinesio taping (a stretchy tape placed on the skin) to standard rehabilitation can improve balance and trunk control in people who have had a stroke. It may help you feel more stable and move better during recovery.
This study tests if kinesiology tape (a special stretchy tape placed on the skin) can help relieve pain and improve movement in people with sudden, short-term low back pain. It may be an option if your pain just started and you haven't had long-term back issues.
This trial tests two different kinesio taping methods for people with chronic low back pain. The goal is to see how taping affects the fascia (connective tissue) in the lower back and whether it can help relieve pain.
