About this trial
This study aimed to investigate the effect of thoracic kinesio-tape on Pulmonary Functions, time to clinical resolution and respiratory rate and arterial oxygen saturation in children with pneumonia.
Thirty children with pneumonia from both sexes with age ranged from 4 to 7 years participated in this study. The patients were divided into two equal groups (study and control groups), control group received selected chest physiotherapy exercise. Study group received the same selected physical therapy program given to control group in addition to thoracic kinesio-tape three days per week for two weeks.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Children with age between aged 4 years to 7 years hospitalized with pneumonia and they assemble all the clinical and radiological criteria for pneumonia
Children with normal thoracic spine
Children with stable hemodynamic status
Children with no previous history of thoracic surgery, thoracic deformities rib fracture or any condition that make it difficult to apply the KT.
Disqualifiers
Children with chest drain
Children with vision or auditory problems
Bone fragility or rib fractures
Children with reports of allergic skin reactions to the use of adhesive bandages, plasters, or other adhesive materials

Crossover
Treatments tested in this trial
kinesotape
Other interventiona- Kinesio-tape: cure tape (made in Korea) made from 100% gentle cotton fibre and 100% medical grade acrylic adhesive. its Hypoallergenic, water-resistant and does not limit range of motion (ROM), it is come with different colours and sizes. Kinesio Tape is safe enough for a baby's sensitive skin, and gentle enough for aging individuals, flexible enough for rehabilitation, durable enough to support working muscle, joint or ligament and strong enough for athletes at any level.
Chest physiotherapy exercises
Behavioralselected chest physiotherapy exercise three times per week for two weeks, each session will be about 20 minute which will include the following exercise ( huffing , coughing , percussion,and postural drainage)
