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).

Conditions

Shoulder Pain

Keywords

Kinesio tape, Functional correction, Rounded shoulder

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• The pushing force (average of peak force) of both arms (pounds)

  Maximum strength of pushing, measures by Evaltech machine

  2 minutes

• The pulling force (average of peak force) of both arms (pounds)

  Maximum strength of pulling, measures by Evaltech machine

  2 minutes

• Time measurement tolerance (TMT) (seconds)

  Time tolerance of overhead reaching, measures by Evaltech machine

  4 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Visual analog pain scale (VAS)

  1 minute

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

  2 minutes

Study Arms (2)

Kinesio tape, functional correction applying

EXPERIMENTAL

The experimental group, trained by Certified Kinesio tape researcher will attache the kinesio tape. Attaching the kinesio tape by using functional correction techniques, apply tape from the front of the acromion process to the spinous process T10 on both sides, providing 50% of the tape's tension (Kase, 2003, Han JT et al) to create a scapular retraction.

Other: Kinesio tape, functional correction technique; Other: Elastic band strengthening shoulder exercise

Placebo Kinesio taping apply

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Apply kinesio tape without tension.

Other: Elastic band strengthening shoulder exercise

Interventions

Kinesio tape, functional correction technique OTHER

According to Kinesio Taping, functional correction technique could use for correcting shoulder, scapular alignment and decrease pain.

Kinesio tape, functional correction applying

Elastic band strengthening shoulder exercise OTHER

The exercise in which both groups will receive Introduction of exercise with rubber bands (Elastic band) It is a home exercise (Home base exercise program) for patients to do with appropriate resistance. Which can be done at least 10 times and not more than 20 times continuously,will be asked to do all 3 positions. 1\) Shoulder external rotation in shoulder abduction 90 degrees 2) Shoulder horizontal abduction in shoulder abduction 90 degrees 3) Seated bend row, which will be done 15 times, each hold for 10 seconds, do 3 sets, each set rest 2 minutes, 2 times a day ( Morning-evening) consecutively for 1 week
