Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to the effects of kinesio tape application on pain, edema, range of motion and functionality . The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does kinesiotape application reduce pain and edema and improve quality of life in the early period in individuals undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair? - Does kinesiotape application provide early restoration of functional activity level in individuals undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair? Participants will receive kinesiotaping in addition to traditional physiotherapy programs. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare kinesiotape group, shamtape group and control group to see if kinesiotaping.


Clinical Trial Description

Chronic shoulder pain is the second most common musculoskeletal problem in the population with a prevalence ranging from 15% to 22%. Rotator cuff (RM) tears are one of the important pathophysiologic conditions leading to shoulder pain. Early treatment of RM tears is conservative and includes oral analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroid injections if necessary and physiotherapy methods. Treatment of rotator sheath problems may be surgical and/or conservative depending on the indications. Surgical treatment is inevitable for partial tears and complete ruptures that do not respond to conservative treatment. After surgery, a good rehabilitation program is needed to increase the success of the surgical intervention, return to functional activities and improve the patient's quality of life. One of the most important problems for the patient, physician and physiotherapist in the rehabilitation program to be applied in this period is the immobilization period of 6 weeks. This is the recommended time for tissue healing. However, the negative effects of prolonged immobilization should not be forgotten. It is important to use early physiotherapy applications to prevent adhesions and reduce complications that may occur. The Kinesio Taping® technique and Kinesio Tex® tape were developed in 1973 by Dr. Kenzo Kase, a Japanese chiropractor and acupuncturist. There is an increasing number of health professionals, including physicians and physiotherapists who deal with musculoskeletal diseases and lymphology, who apply this method to their patients all over the world. It is also widely used in the sports world, especially considering its ease of use and effects. It helps structures such as the musculoskeletal system, circulatory system and nervous system to return to normal function. It is a preferred method because these bands are easy to apply and patients can easily remove them. In the literature, there is no study examining the effects of kinesio tape application after rotator cuff repair. Considering the effects of kinesio tape on pain and edema; we think that it will have positive results in the rehabilitation program applied after rotator cuff repair. ;
