Effect of Kinesio Taping on Upper Extremity Performance in Individuals With Rounded Shoulders

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Shoulder Pain

• Registration Number: NCT04346563
• Lead Sponsor: Mahidol University

Brief Summary

The objective of this research is to study the effect of kinesio tapes with functional correction technique in combination with exercise management to increase strength and decrease pain, in people with rounded shoulders. The study would be evaluated with the EvaltechTM machine, (functional capacity assessment).

Detailed Description

Participants

* Age 25-50 years, male and female

* People who have a shoulder condition. (By measuring in the supine position, distance from the posterior aspect of acromion to the bed\> 1 inch on both sides)

* People with moderate to severe neck and shoulder pain (VAS\> 3)

* People who have to use their arms for work Overall more than 3 hours per day

For attaching the tape, the researcher will prepare a replacement shirt in case the For the convenience of tape, the experimental group, trained by Certified Kinesio tape, attached the kinesio tape. Attaching the tape By using functional correction techniques, apply from the front of the acromion process to the spinous process T10 on both sides.

Measurements

1. The pressure of (average of peak force) of both arms (pounds)

2. The pulling force (average of peak force) of both arms (pounds)

3. Time of overhead endurance test (TMT) (seconds)

4. Visual analog scale (VAS)

5. The distance from the posterior aspect of acromion to the bed (inches)

process of measuring the evaluation 3 times

1. st after physical therapy treatment Before attaching the kinase tape

2. nd evaluation period was 48 hours apart before the next treatment.

3. rd evaluation period is 1 week apart.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The pushing force (average of peak force) of both arms (pounds)	2 minutes	Maximum strength of pushing, measures by Evaltech machine
The pulling force (average of peak force) of both arms (pounds)	2 minutes	Maximum strength of pulling, measures by Evaltech machine
Time measurement tolerance (TMT) (seconds)	4 minutes	Time tolerance of overhead reaching, measures by Evaltech machine

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Visual analog pain scale (VAS)	1 minute	0-10 centimeters visual analog scale, higher score means higher pain and worse outcome
The distance from the posterior aspect of acromion to the bed (inches)	2 minutes	Measure in lying position by measurement tape
