Brief Summary

Applications of new treatment modality which is Kinesio tape in post mastectomy shoulder problems.

Conditions

Post Mastectomy Complications

Keywords

Mastectomy; Shoulder Pain; ROM; Kinesio Tape

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  It is a perpendicular line on the scale that corresponded to their perceived pain intensity.

  2 weeks change from the baseline scores

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI)

  2 weeks change from the baseline scores

Study Arms (2)

Kinesio tape

EXPERIMENTAL

The first 3 kinesio tape application was inhibition technique for supraspinatus, deltoid and teres minor muscles. the fourth Kinesio tape was mechanical correction for the shoulder joint. in addition to active-assistive range of motion exercises (AAROME), active stretching exercises and strengthening exercises for the shoulder joint. Likewise, patients also received postural correction exercises

Device: Kinesio tape; Procedure: physiotherapy program

Physiotherapy program

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
