Summary

Supraspinatus tendonitis is a common clinical problem that causes functional and labor disabilities. It is the most frequent cause of shoulder pain. Manual therapy is a common intervention used by physical therapist for management of supraspinatus tendonitis. Joint mobilization, stretching and strengthening exercises are commonly used techniques for management of this condition. In this study KT will be added to conventional manual therapy and its efficacy will be investigated.

The study design will be Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) that will be used to compare the effects of KT added to manual therapy for management of supraspinatus tendonitis. 38 patients will be participate in this study who will be assigned randomly (biased coin method) to experimental and control groups (19+19). The data collection will be carried out at Railway Hospital Rawalpindi. Patients with shoulder pain at rest and positive for special tests (Neer's, Empty Can, Drop Arm, Hawkin's Kennedy) will be included in this study. There is no restriction on gender and age group will be between 25 and 60 years. Patients with cervical post op, referred pain, open wounds, allergic to KT and with signs of radiculopathy will be excluded from this study. Pre and post treatment evaluation will be done using Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and goniometry. Data will be collected on 1st day, 4th day and 7th day for both groups. After data collection is completed, SPSS will be used to analyze the collected data

Conditions

  • Supraspinatus Tendinitis

Interventions

OTHER

Group I Experimental Kinesotaping

For application of kinesotaping following procedure will be adopted: 1. The skin will be cleaned properly with alcohol 2. The first strip will be applied in Y-shape (15-20% stretch) surrounding the deltoid muscle to provide inhibition and muscle relaxation 3. A second strip (I-shape) will be applied for functional correction (50-75% stretch), passing over the supraspinatus, trapezius, glenohumeral joint and middle deltoid Daily Strengthening Exercises (3 sets / 10\~30 reps) Joint mobilization (3 sets / 60 seconds hold / 30 seconds interval) Stretching Exercises (3 sets / 30 seconds hold / 30 seconds interval

OTHER

Group II conventional training group

Joint mobilization (3 sets / 60 seconds hold / 30 seconds interval) Stretching Exercises (3 sets / 30 seconds hold / 30 seconds interval) Strengthening Exercises (3 sets / 10\~30 reps)
