ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) is a painful condition of the upper extremity resulting from a structural narrowing of the subacromial space. Previously, many studies related to this were conducted in foreign countries but not in India. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to find out the effect of therapeutic kinesio-taping
AIM OF THE STUDY:
This experimental study is aimed to evaluate the effect of therapeutic Kinesio-taping and placebo Kinesio-taping on shoulder pain, mobility and functional disability in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The experimental study was conducted in 30 patients diagnosed with shoulder impingement syndrome were divided into two equal groups “experimental and control group”. The patients in the experimental group received ultrasound therapy for 8 minutes followed by application of therapeutic kinesio-taping and in control group patients received ultrasound therapy for 8 minutes followed by application of placebo kinesio-taping. The outcome measures of shoulder range of motion by goniometry, pain and functional disability by SPADI were assessed at baseline, immediately after taping application and 3 days post intervention. The outcome measures of pre and post treatment are analyzed statistically using SPSS.
RESULT:
At the end of the treatment programme, therapeutic kinesio-taping group showed significant increase in shoulder range of motion including flexion and abduction and decreasing pain and functional disability, whereas placebo kinesio-taping showed no significant improvement in outcomes.
CONCLUSION:
The study concluded that therapeutic kinesio-taping is effective than placebo kinesio-taping in increasing shoulder range of motion and decreasing pain and functional disability.
KEYWORDS:
Shoulder impingement syndrome, therapeutic kinesio-taping, placebo kinesio-taping, pain, disability, mobility, NPRS, SPADI, and goniometer.
