abstract

background: rounded shoulder posture is a common abnormal posture in upper quarter. kinesiotape is a new intervention that recently used in rehabilitation. there are no studies have examined the effect of kinesiotape on rounded shoulder posture. therefore the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of scapular kinesiotaping and pectoralis minor stretching exercise on forward shoulder angle in female subjects with rounded shoulder posture. methods: twenty female students aged between 18 to 25 years old with rounded shoulder posture participated in this study. then, the subjects were randomly and equally assigned to two groups: the stretch group and the stretch plus kinesiotape group. both groups were trained for doing home exercise to stretch pectoralis minor bilaterally for two weeks. kinesiotape group received kinesiotape on scapular area additionally. forward shoulder angle was measured in four sessions including pre-intervention (first session), immediately after the first intervention (second session), fourth day (third session) and at the end of two weeks (fourth session). two-way repeated measures anova (4x2) was used for data analysis. results: kinesiotape group showed significant within-group decrease in forward shoulder angle between first session with three other sessions (p≤0.05). there was no significant within-group difference in stretch group and between groups (p=0.20) forward shoulder angle-by-group interaction in measurement sessions was significantly different (p=0.02) conclusion: scapular kinesiotaping along with pectoralis minor stretching exercise improved rounded shoulder posture in subjects of the present study. kinesiotape is suggested as a complementary treatment with immediate effects on postural correction of rounded shoulder.

Immediate effect of forward head rounded shoulder posture corrective orthosis on craniovertebral and protraction-retraction angles

Introduction: Forward head posture, which occurs often in conjunction with increased curvature in the upper body and rounded shoulder, is one of the most common postural deviations. Over time, this poor posture can contribute to the development of neck pain and shoulder dysfunction. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to design and develop a forward head rounded shoulder posture corrective ...

The comparison of acromiohumeral distance and scapular dyskinesis prevalence in females with and without rounded shoulder posture

Background: Altered scapular kinematics in individuals with rounded shoulder posture (RSP) may affect acromiohumeral distance (AHD). The purpose of this study was to compare AHD and scapular dyskinesis prevalence in individuals with and without RSP.    Methods: A total of 44 women (RSP, n=21; control, n=23) participated in the study. RSP was assessed by measuring acromion to table distance (AT...
