Summary

This study looked at whether kinesiology tape, a special elastic tape placed on the skin, could help people with ankylosing spondylitis feel less pain and move better. 63 adults with the condition took part. The researchers measured pain, posture, balance, and breathing, comparing the tape to doing home exercises alone. The goal was to see if the tape offers extra relief for everyday symptoms.
