Abstract

Background and Aim: Kinesio tape has been considered as a supplementary treatment method for shoulder impingement syndrome. According to the fact that the acuity of the position sense varies at different joint range of motion, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Kinesio tape in different joint positions on position sense of subjects with shoulder impingement syndrome.
Materials and Methods: In this quasi-experimental study which was carried out on 12 subjects with shoulder impingement syndrome, the active joint position sense reconstruction test in the middle and inner range of abduction was applied for measuring the proprioception. 90º of shoulder abduction was considered as the baseline of the test.One third of the total range of motion was considered as the first aim angle, the half of the range of motion and available range of motion minus 10º was considered as the second and third aim angle respectively. In this study the Kinesio tape attached on the pectoralis major, the middle fibers of the Trapezius, deltoid and supraspinatus muscles. The repeated measure ANOVA was employed for investigation of the relationship between independent variables.
Results: the effect of tape showed significantly meaningfull difference (p=0.01) but the effect of diffent angles had no significant effect on repositioning test errors.
Conclusion: Kinesio tape results in proprioception improvement during shoulder abduction range of motion in paitents with shoulder impingement syndrome.
