Effect of Kinesio Taping on Muscle Strength in Lower Trapezius
The Effect of One Application of Kinesio Tape on Muscle Strength in Lower Trapezius on Patients With Shoulder Problems and Weak Lower Trapezius - a Randomized Controlled Trial
Sponsor: Norwegian School of Sport Sciences
Listed as NCT02290730, this NA trial focuses on Muscle Weakness and Shoulder Pain and remains completed. Sponsored by Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, it has been updated 6 times since 2014, reflecting limited change activity. This study adds to the evidence base for this therapeutic area through structured, versioned documentation.
Study Description(click to expand)The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of recoil tape with 0-30% tension, by using one application of Kinesio tape over the muscle fibers of the lower trapezius from its origin to its insertion. The participants will be divided into intervention group (taping) and control group (no intervention). Muscle strength test will be performed before and immediately after taping (20-30 minutes) for both groups using hand-held dynamometer measurements (MicroFET 3).
Work is based on the following hypothesis: "Kinesio taping using recoil taping provides increased isometric muscle strength in lower trapezius immediately after application".
