Brief Summary

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

We aimed to investigate the effect of kinesiotaping on pain, functionality and ultrasound parameters in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS).

Detailed Description

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

A total of 75 patients with SIS were randomly classified into the following three groups: kinesiotaping (KT), exercise (EX) and sham-kinesiotaping (sham-KT). Each group was underwent two weeks treatment program. The patients were then evaluated in terms of pain analyzed using the visual analog scale (VAS), joint range of motion, Quick-Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (Q-DASH) questionnaire before and after treatment. In addition, supraspinatus tendon (SsT) thickness and acromiohumeral distance (AHD) parameters were measured using ultrasonography (US). All parameters were measured before and after treatment.

Investigators
All participants were assessed by the same clinician (F.B) at the baseline and at the two week after completing the interventions by visual analog scale (VAS), range of motion (ROM) and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (Q-DASH). KT and sham-KT applications were made by same clinician (N.M). For ultrasnogohraphic (US) measurements, the participants were sent to a clinician (D.G.K) who was blinded to the group allocation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group 1: Cold application, Kinesiotaping treatment

Cold application: At the beginning of each treatment session, gel ice packs were wrapped in a damp towel and applied to the patients' shoulder joints for 20 minutes.

Kinesiotaping application: KT was applied to the deltoid muscle using the inhibition and mechanical correction technique and to the supraspinatus muscle using the inhibition technique (2 sessions with a 5-day interval).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cold Application

Intervention Type OTHER

At the beginning of each treatment session, gel ice packs were wrapped in a damp towel and applied to the patients' shoulder joints for 20 minutes.

Kinesiotaping Application

Intervention Type OTHER

KT was applied to the deltoid muscle using the inhibition and mechanical correction technique and to the supraspinatus muscle using the inhibition technique (2 sessions with a 5-day interval)

Group 2: Cold application, EX treatment

EX treatment was administered for 10 days with 3 sessions/day. A triphasic exercise program was administered to the patients. Exercise was administered twice a week under supervision; however, the patients were advised to exercise at home on the other days with 20 repetitions of each exercise. The patients were followed up via telephone to make sure they were adhering to their exercise programs.

Exercise treatment

Intervention Type OTHER

EX treatment was administered for 10 days with 3 sessions/day. A triphasic exercise program was administered to the patients. Before starting the exercise program, the patients were instructed to not perform the movements exceeding 90° overhead. The exercise program was initiated using codman pendulum, passive joint motion range (with a 1-m stick), and posterior capsule stretching exercise. Shoulder wheel, finger ladder, and shoulder strengthening exercise with theraband were added to the exercise programs of patients with full or near total range of motion and pain relief. Exercise was administered twice a week under supervision; however, the patients were advised to exercise at home on the other days with 20 repetitions of each exercise. The patients were followed up via telephone to make sure they were adhering to their exercise programs.

Group 3: Cold application, sham-KT treatment

Sham-KT was applied in 10 cm I-shaped stripes on the sagittal plane over the acromioclavicular joint without stretching and on the transverse plane distal to the deltoid area. The kinesiotape was applied twice for five days with 2-day intervals
