Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of standard tension of Thera-Band® Kinesiological Tape (TB-KT) application versus varied tension on shoulder pain, disability, and recovery speed during an in-office rehabilitative program. A convenience sample size of 38 new patients with current shoulder pain will be recruited for this study. The outcome measures will include the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and the Penn Shoulder Score (PENN). After completing the initial paperwork, patients will be randomized into two groups, control (0% tension) and intervention(increasing tension). At the beginning of each week the tape will be reapplied, and pain rating will be recorded. At the conclusion of 4 weeks patients will complete the PENN.

Conditions

  • Shoulder Pain

Interventions

OTHER

TheraBand Kinesiology Tape

Kinesiology taping technique is designed to target muscles and lymphatic system. Limited research is available for specific conditions, including low back pain, but it is theorized to correct muscle function by inhibiting or facilitating the muscle, improve blood flow, reduce pain, and improve joint alignment.
