Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of microporous taping on improving scar characteristics in post-surgical HTS.

Conditions

  • Microporous Tape
  • Hypertrophic Scars

Interventions

OTHER

Microporous tape

Microporous tape is a dressing tape that was discovered to have scar modulating effects. It is made up of a conformable, inextensible, nonwoven fabric manufactured from 100% viscose and coated with a layer of acrylic adhesive. It is cheap, cost-effective, readily available, and relatively affordable for post surgical patients.

OTHER

Tradition physical therapy

Tradition physical therapy as stretching exercises and deep friction massage, Stretching is a form of physical exercise in which a specific muscle or tendon (or muscle group) is deliberately expanded and flexed in order to improve the muscle's felt elasticity and achieve comfortable muscle tone. The result is a feeling of increased muscle control, flexibility, and range of motion. Deep friction massage also known as cross friction massage, is a specific connective tissue massage which maintain the mobility within the soft tissue structures of ligament, tendon, and muscle, and prevent adherent scars from forming.
