Brief Summary

To determine the effects of kinesio taping in protracted shoulder posture.

Conditions

Postural; Defect

Keywords

Double square; Kinesio taping; Protracted shoulder posture; Tapeline; Total scapular distance; Rrotracted shoulder posture

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Pectoralis Minor Length (PML)

  Changes from baseline, Pectoralis Minor Length was assessed using tapeline. To determine the pectoralis minor length, distance in inches from the inferior and medial aspect of coracoid process to the inferior edge of fourth rib was taken.

  2nd week.

• Total Scapular Distance (TSD)

  Changes from baseline, Total Scapular Distance (TSD) was assessed using tapeline. It was measured by taking distance from third thoracic spinous process to caudal angle of acromion in inches.

  2nd week.

• Supine measurement of protracted shoulder posture

  Changes from baseline, Supine measurement of protracted shoulder was measure by Straight ruler which is a simple scale that give measurements in inches or centimeters. Participants lied supine and their arms rested on abdomen with flexed elbows. Then distance was measured from posterolateral aspect of acromion to examining table in inches.

  2nd week.

• Standing measurement of protracted shoulder posture

  Changes from baseline, Standing measurement of protracted shoulder posture was mesasure by Double square which is a 12 inches long carpenter square with another square hang over this 12 inch ruler. Participants were asked to stand against wall, this tool was placed parallel to wall over the shoulder to be assessed and positioned it's another extended square at the tip of acromion anteriorly. Then distance from wall to acromion was measured in inches.

  2nd week.

Study Arms (2)

Kinesio taping and Conventional Physical Therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Standardized therapeutic kinesio taping (I shaped with 50-100% tension for 72 hours on both shoulders) along with Conventional Physical Therapy including Thermotherapy, myofacial release, exercise therapy (active isolated unilateral stretching of pectoralis minor muscle and strengthening of shoulder retractors).

Other: Kinesio Tape

Conventional Physical Therapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Thermotherapy, myofacial release, exercise therapy (active isolated unilateral stretching of pectoralis minor muscle and strengthening of shoulder retractors).

Other: Conventional Physical Therapy

Interventions

Kinesio Tape OTHER

Kinesio tape was applied with mechanical correction technique having I shaped with 50-100% tension for 72 hours on both shoulders in retracted position from the anterior aspect of the acromion to the spinous process of the 10th thoracic vertebra of the both shoulders. Conventional Physical; Therapy: Thermotherapy (hot pack) applied for 10 minutes. Myofacial release. Active isolated unilateral stretching of pectoralis minor muscle for 30 seconds (3 set × 3 reps/day). Strengthening of shoulder retractors (lower trapezius and rhomboids). (3 set × 15 reps/day). Participants were asked to do exercises at home on daily basis.

Kinesio taping and Conventional Physical Therapy

Conventional Physical Therapy OTHER

Conventional Treatment: Hot pack, Myofascial Releaase, Stretching and Strengthening with Theraband

Conventional Physical Therapy
