Interventions

OTHER

Dynamic tape on experimental group

The dynamic taping application was carried out in 2 stages. Three "I"-shaped tapes were cut. In the first stage, the person was asked to perform scapular retraction, and in this position, the tape was placed by applying medium tension to the anterior part of the other deltoid muscle, passing from the anterior part of the deltoid muscle to the upper thoracic region. In the second stage, the participant was asked to do scapular retraction and depression, and while maintaining this position, medium tension was applied to the lower thoracic vertebra starting from the anterior part of the deltoid muscle and the acromion and tape was applied. Afterward, this process was applied on the other side

OTHER

Sham tape on placebo group

Sham taping was performed in 2 stages. Three "I"-shaped tapes were cut. Participants were asked to stand in the comfortable position they used during the day. The first tape was adhered from the starting point of the spine of the scapula with the acromion to the junction of the spine of the scapula and the acromion on the other side without any tension. The other two tapes, starting from the beginning and ending points of the first tape, were adhered to the lower thoracic region without any tension
