Arms & Interventions
Kinesiotape
Kinesiotape (Nasara, Korea) was applied for three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) for three weeks.
Intervention: kinesiotape (Device)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Subluxation degree by physical examination
Time Frame: 0-3weeks
A clinician measured the gap between the acromion and the humeral head with the fingerbreadth at the distal interphalangeal joint of the right index and middle fingers
physical examination
Time Frame: 0-3weeks
Passive range of motion (Flexion and Abduction)
Subluxation degree by radiograph
Time Frame: 0-3weeks
The anterio-posterior shoulder X-ray was taken in an erect position, and subluxation was evaluated by Van Langenberghe's five point classification.
Secondary Outcomes
- Evaluation of the pain of the shoulder(0-3weeks)
- Evaluation of Daily life activities(0-3weeks)
