Mean active range of motion (shoulder abduction) without pain was 174.2 degrees with sham taping and 184.43 degrees with KT (2 RCTs, 68 participants), with an absolute improvement of 5.7% (95% CI 8.9% worse to 20.3% better) and a relative improvement of 6% (95% CI 10% worse to 22%...
According to our best knowledge, in the current literature there is no scientific evidence describing the long-term effects of Kinesio taping (KT) on the functional parameters of the upper extremity, assessed with ultrasonography, and the quality of life in patients with shoulder dysfunction, so th...
Introduction: Owing to the surgery of breast cancer, post-surgery healing can evolve with functional alterations, such as pain, decreasing of movement breadth and other alterations that can occur on the homolateral shoulder of surgery. Within this prospect, one proposes the Kinesio Taping method as...
Materials/Methods: The AHD from the symptomatic shoulder was measured using an ultrasound scanner with a 4-15MhZ linear array probe in two arm positions (at rest [0 degree] and 60 degrees shoulder abduction). First, measurements were taken without kinesiotaping. Thereafter, therapeutic kinesio...
The patient exhibited an important pain-restriction related to shoulder function ability, caused by the MTPs. In view of the results, the treatment with Kinesio Taping modified the inhibition of the deltoid muscle caused by the pain. It is highly significant that intensity values of pain, either...
The presence of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) is one of the most common causes of musculoskeletal problems and may lead to limited professional activity. Among the various treatment methods proposed for MTrPs, Kinesio Taping (KT) is a non-invasive, p
