Özet

Context: Respiratory and peripheral muscle dysfunctions seen in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) cause ventilatory limitation, dyspnea and inactivity, which then result in a reduction in functional capacity. Kinesio Taping (KT) is a rehabilitative technique performed by the cutaneous application of a special elastic tape, thus increasing muscle activation and blood circulation.
