Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this project is to investigate the effect of Kinesio tape on muscle strength of the lower trapezius in people with shoulder symptoms and decreased muscle strength in the lower trapezius - a randomized controlled trial.

Description:

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".

Intervention

Other:
• Kinesio tape
Application of one Kinesio tape with 0-30 % tension over the muscle fibers of the lower trapezius in a stretched position. The tape can be divided into one, two or three tails to cover the whole muscle from origin to insertion

Outcome
Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Muscle strength Maximal isometric muscle strength monitored by a hand-held dynamometer (microFET 3) 30 minutes No
Secondary Time of break force How long the patient can hold against the pressure from the investigator until the force breaks 30 minutes No
Secondary Self-reported strength - effort scale Self-reported muscle strength from 0-10 (0 is nothing, 1 is extremely weak and 10 is extremely strong) 30 minutes No
