Effects of Move Kinetic Taping in Rehabilitation of Shoulder Abduction Dysfunction Syndrome

Bhojan Kannabiran*

Objective: To compare the effects of move kinetic taping intervention on shoulder range of motion and pain in subjects with shoulder abduction dysfunction syndrome over conventional physical therapy for the shoulder.

Design: Experimental study.

Setting: Yesodha physiotherapy center, Coimbatore, India AHCC Mumbai, India.

Participants: A total of 40 participants were recruited: 20 subjects in each group (experimental group I and II include males and females) with shoulder abduction dysfunction syndrome of the shoulder complex.

Intervention: Experimental group I- Using the move kinetic taping based on the myofascial sequence was applied over the shoulder followed by corrective exercises. Experimental group II- conventional Physical Therapy as indicated for pain and stiffness followed by corrective exercises.

Main outcome measures: Pain score and shoulder abduction range of motion score.

Results: A significant increase in shoulder abduction range of motion and pain relief was observed in both groups.

Conclusion: Individuals with shoulder abduction dysfunction syndrome of the shoulder are able to demonstrate immediate beneficial adaptations to move kinetic taping (menthol infused) based on the myofascial sequence which incorporates the dermo neuro modulation and fascial biomechanics and neurophysiology. This is important as it can effectively be used in pain relief after which the follow up strengthening exercise program is executable.
