Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Applications of new treatment modality which is Kinesio tape in post mastectomy shoulder problems.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Post-mastectomy complications are often noted and complaints by breast cancer survivors. It often involves the development of chronic arm pain with accompanying limitation of shoulder motion. Aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the kinesio tape (KT) on the shoulder pain and range of motion (ROM).

Method: 74 female patients underwent modified radical mastectomy were involved in this study. They were randomly divided into two groups, experimental who received KT for shoulder joint in addition to conventional physiotherapy program while, the control group received the physiotherapy program only. Outcome measures were visual analogues scale, shoulder ROM and shoulder Pain and Disability Index.

Kinesio tape

The first 3 kinesio tape application was inhibition technique for supraspinatus, deltoid and teres minor muscles. the fourth Kinesio tape was mechanical correction for the shoulder joint. in addition to active-assistive range of motion exercises (AAROME), active stretching exercises and strengthening exercises for the shoulder joint. Likewise, patients also received postural correction exercises
