简要总结
The primary aim of this study is to investigate the effect of mechanical correction taping on the stiffness of the upper trapezius and pectoralis minor muscles in patients with rounded shoulder deformity. The secondary aim of our study was to see whether different tape materials affect the application results.
详细描述
Mechanical correction technique is a highly preferred method among users. Besides its tactical stimulation it serves like a tool helping to reposition the joints.
Here in this study, the investigators aimed to see the secondary effect of the technique on posture. İt is already known that mechanical correction supports the joints and posture but, the question is; by supporting the upright position does it help the extra loaded muscles to release? As the best way to measure the stiffness of the muscles is Elastography, this study will highlight an important issue about correcting posture and regulate muscle loading.
