Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to the effects of kinesio tape application on pain, edema, range of motion and functionality . The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Does kinesiotape application reduce pain and edema and improve quality of life in the early period in individuals undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair?
• Does kinesiotape application provide early restoration of functional activity level in individuals undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair? Participants will receive kinesiotaping in addition to traditional physiotherapy programs. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare kinesiotape group, shamtape group and control group to see if kinesiotaping.

Conditions

Rotator Cuff Injuries; Rotator Cuff Tears

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Pain severity

  Visual Analogue Scale (0-10, higher means worse)

  7 weeks

• Edema

  Diameter measurement was performed to evaluate the level of edema in the shoulder joint. Two reference points, the posterosuperior end of the acromion and the korkoid process, were used to measure the diameter of the shoulder. First, the distance between these points on the upper border of the deltoid muscle was measured with a tape measure and recorded. The second measurement was taken 1 cm lateral to the first measurement, over the middle deltoid and recorded.

  7 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Modified Constant-Murley score

  7 weeks

• REVISED OXFORD SHOULDER SCORE

  7 weeks

• SHOULDER PAIN AND DISABILITY INDEX

  7 weeks

• Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index

  7 weeks

Interventions

Kinesiotape OTHER

In the kinesiotaping group, kinesiotape was applied from the first postoperative day in addition to conservative treatment. Kinesiobant application was performed regularly until the 6th week by a researcher with a certificate in kinesiobanting in accordance with the lymphatic correction and pain inhibition techniques described by Kenzo Kase. Conservative Treatment Program. 1-10 days: Patient education Pendulum exercises Active hand and wrist exercises Cold Application 1-6 Weeks: Pendulum exercises are continued Active hand and wrist exercises are continued Cold application is continued Passive arm elevation with opposite hand support in supine position Elbow flexion/extension exercise at the limit of pain

Kinesiotaping group

Shamtape OTHER

In the sham taping group, sham tape was applied from the first postoperative day in addition to conservative treatment. Medical flasters were used as sham tape. Sham tapes were applied by cutting in the same fan shape as in kinesioband. Conservative Treatment Program. 1-10 days: Patient education Pendulum exercises Active hand and wrist exercises Cold Application 1-6 Weeks: Pendulum exercises are continued Active hand and wrist exercises are continued Cold application is continued Passive arm elevation with opposite hand support in supine position Elbow flexion/extension exercise at the limit of pain
