Brief Summary

This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of two different therapeutic bands in symptomatic rotator cuff tendinopathy. One of the tapes was kinesio tape and the other was dynamic tape. The study was in a parallel group randomized controlled trial design.

Conditions

Rotator Cuff Tendinosis

Keywords

Rotatory cuff tendinopathy; Acromiohumeral distance; Dynamic taping; Kinesiotaping; Proprioception; Shoulder pain; Rehabilitation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Acromiohumeral Distance (AHD)

  Measurement of the distance between the humeral head and the inferior acromion by ultrasound to determine the subacromial space

  Change in acromiohumeral distance at 6 week

Secondary Outcomes (7)

• Proprioception

  Change in proprioception at 6 week

• Muscle Strength

  Change in shoulder muscle strength at 6 week

• Shoulder Range of Motion

  Change in shoulder range of motion at 6 week

• Lateral Scapular Slide Test

  Change in scapular position at 6 week

• Timed Functional Arm and Shoulder Test

  Change in shoulder function at 6 week
