Subluxation of Inferior Shoulder Clinical Trial
Official title:
Efficacy of California Tri-pull Taping Method in the Treatment of Post Stroke Shoulder Subluxation- A Randomized Clinical Trial.
california tri-pull taping (CTPT) method might be effective in reducing shoulder subluxation, pain, and improving active flexion range (AFLXN) range of motion, and functional recovery after stroke.
All the experimental group participants will receive conventional neuro rehabilitation for
45 minutes along with California tri-pull taping on the subluxed extremity. Lead researcher
applied the CTPT method. The tape was applied as following manner.
Before the first intervention day, participants with hair on their shoulder or upper arm
were asked to shave the area. Two types of tape was used, a self-adhesive 1.5ʺ cotton
undercover tape and a 1ʺ rigid strapping tape. Participants placed their affected arm on a
supporting surface to better approximate the humeral head back into the glenoid fossa. The
three pieces of rigid tape were applied to the patient's shoulder on top of the already
applied self-adhesive cotton tape. The first piece (medial) was applied from 1.5ʺ below the
deltoid tuberosity running straight up the middle of the arm to 2ʺ above the top of the
glenoid fossa between the clavicle and the spine of the scapula. The second piece
(posterior) was located from 1.5ʺ below the deltoid tuberosity to 1.5ʺ above the middle of
the spine of the scapula. The medial border of this second piece ran along the acromial
process. Last, the third piece (anterior) was located from 1.5ʺ below the deltoid tuberosity
to run around the front of the humeral head and over the coracoid process, up to 1.5ʺ above
the clavicle. The tape will removed and new tape applied every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
and remained on the patient for 6 consecutive weeks.
Following the 6 weeks, each patients of both group was individually re-assessed and
evaluated the effect of intervention and parameters were recorded. The recording and
measurement obtained before and after intervention was subjected to statistical analysis and
the result of that interpreted to obtain the significance of study.
