Thirty-six male computer users with SD were randomized in three groups of KT, MuT, and placebo tape (PT). A two-session evaluation, in each session two times, with a 72-h interval was done. The outcome measures of the EMG were peak root mean square (PRMS) and RMS activity of upper trapezius (UT), middle trapezius (MT), lower trapezius (LT), deltoid (Del), and serratus anterior (SA) muscles during typing and 120\u00b0 of scaption tasks.
