There are different results regarding its effectiveness in the literature. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of scapular KT combined with a conventional physiotherapy program on scapular dyskinesia, shoulder pain, upper extremity function, and well-being in patients with SIS. METHODS: The study was conducted with 60 outpatients diagnosed with SIS, aged 40\u201365 years. The patients were divided into two groups: KT [conventional physiotherapy program + scapular KT (targets scapular retraction and is applied along the inferior-medial edge of the scapula, starting from the processus coracoids), n= 30] and control [conventional physiotherapy program, n= 30]. In before- and after-treatment evaluations, the Lateral Scapular Slide Test (LSST) for scapular dyskinesia, a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for shoulder pain, and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) for upper extremity function were used. In addition, at the end of treatment, a Kinesio taping Satisfaction Survey, created by the researchers, was filled out by the KT group for the assessment of well-being. RESULTS: The interaction effect of Group*Time was not statistically significant in all outcome measures (p&gt; 0.05). However, the main effect of both group and time was statistically significant in the DASH-Function\/Symptom, VAS-Rest, VAS-Activity, and VAS-Night (p&lt; 0.05). Moreover, only the main effect of time was statistically significant in LSST-1 and LSST-3 (p&lt; 0.05). In the KT group, the satisfaction level was 8.50 \u00b1 1.69 and the recommendation level was 8.72 \u00b1 1.81. CONCLUSION: Both conventional physiotherapy programs and additional scapular KT improved scapular dyskinesia, reduced pain, and increased the upper extremity function. Adding scapular KT to treatment did not change the results, but it had positive psychological effects and yielded a high satisfaction rate.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/bmr-220396","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,5]],"date-time":"2023-09-05T11:44:36Z","timestamp":1693914276000},"page":"1375-1383","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Physical and well-being effect of scapular kinesio taping combined with conventional physiotherapy in shoulder impingement syndrome: A randomized controlled study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Gulhan","family":"Yilmaz Gokmen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Burcin","family":"Akcay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sule","family":"Kecelioglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melike Sumeyye","family":"Ozen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hamiyet","family":"Yuce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"key":"10.3233\/BMR-220396_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"83","DOI":"10.2147\/ORR.S157864","article-title":"Subacromial impingement syndrome: management challenges","author":"Consigliere","year":"2018","journal-title":"Orthopedic Research and Reviews"},{"issue":"6","key":"10.3233\/BMR-220396_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"364","DOI":"10.5435\/JAAOS-20-06-364","article-title":"Scapular dyskinesis and its relation to shoulder injury","volume":"20","author":"Kibler","year":"2012","journal-title":"JAAOS-Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons"},{"issue":"14","key":"10.3233\/BMR-220396_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"877","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2013-092425","article-title":"Clinical implications of scapular dyskinesis in shoulder injury: the 2013 consensus statement from the \u2018Scapular Summit\u2019","volume":"47","author":"Kibler","year":"2013","journal-title":"British Journal of Sports Medicine"},{"issue":"2","key":"10.3233\/BMR-220396_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"298","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apmr.2014.09.029","article-title":"Visual scapular dyskinesis: kinematics and muscle activity alterations in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome","volume":"96","author":"Lopes","year":"2015","journal-title":"Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation"},{"issue":"10","key":"10.3233\/BMR-220396_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e510","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000000510","article-title":"Treatments for shoulder impingement syndrome: a PRISMA systematic review and network meta-analysis","volume":"94","author":"Dong","year":"2015","journal-title":"Medicine (Baltimore)"},{"issue":"3","key":"10.3233\/BMR-220396_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"672","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jbmt.2016.04.018","article-title":"Kinesio taping for chronic low back pain: A systematic review","volume":"20","author":"Nelson","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Bodyw Mov Ther"},{"issue":"4","key":"10.3233\/BMR-220396_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"259","DOI":"10.3109\/09593985.2012.731675","article-title":"The clinical effects of Kinesio\u00ae Tex taping: A systematic review","volume":"29","author":"Morris","year":"2013","journal-title":"Physiother Theory Pract"},{"key":"10.3233\/BMR-220396_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"60","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ptsp.2016.06.006","article-title":"Kinesiology taping does not alter shoulder strength, shoulder proprioception, or scapular kinematics in healthy, physically active subjects and subjects with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome","volume":"24","author":"Keenan","year":"2017","journal-title":"Phys Ther Sport"},{"key":"10.3233\/BMR-220396_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"99","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ptsp.2019.09.001","article-title":"Kinesiology taping with exercise does not provide additional improvement in round shoulder subjects with impingement syndrome: A single-blinded randomized controlled trial","volume":"40","author":"Kang","year":"2019","journal-title":"Phys Ther Sport"},{"issue":"4","key":"10.3233\/BMR-220396_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"558","DOI":"10.1177\/0269215520971764","article-title":"Comparing the effects of no intervention with therapeutic exercise, and exercise with additional Kinesio tape in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.
