Abstract

Introduction: Postural changes modify the balance and the stability, overloading body structures and resulting in pain. Physiotherapy has been using bandages as support in their conduct. Objective: To analyze the effects of bandage in pain and balance of participants with thoracic kyphosis and shoulder protrusion. Methods: Ten participants with protraction of shoulders, thoracic hyperkyphosis and musculoskeletal pain in thoracic region had their values of pain and body oscillation assessed through of forms and stabilometry. Posteriorly bandages were applied for postural correction and after seven days a revaluation was performed. Results: Significant decrease in pain (p = 0.0001) and only minimal reduction of postural oscillations of the participants were observed. Conclusion: The bandage showed to be beneficial only in pain, while on the balance was insufficient. We suggest new studies of other case histories to verify whether the bandage really works as therapy or if it only promotes a placebo effect.
