Comparison of Kinesiotaping, Exercise and Subacromial Injection Treatments on Functionality and Life Quality in Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Study

Effectiveness of kinesiotaping in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome: A systematic review with meta‐analysis

“…In the randomization process, 52.9% of the clinical trials were rated as high risk of bias 12,32,33,35,37,40‐42 . For the missing outcome data, 94.1% of the clinical trials were rated as low risk of bias 12,29‐41,43 . Finally, for the selection of the reported result, 76.5% of the clinical trials were rated as some concerns 12,30‐41 …”

“…A total of 109 studies were found through the electronic searches. Finally, 16 studies met our eligibility criteria and were included in the SR. 12,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] The kappa agreement rate between reviewers was 0.91. The value represents only the 2% (approximately three studies) of discrepancy.…”

“…The RoB 2 assessment for all clinical trials is presented in Figures 2 and 3. For the overall risk of bias, 52.9% of the clinical trials were rated as high risk of bias, 12,33,35,37,38,[40][41][42][43] 41.2% were rated as some concerns, [30][31][32]34,36,39 and 5.9% were rated as low risk of bias. 29 In the randomization process, 52.9% of the clinical trials were rated as high risk of bias.…”

Effects of Kinesio Taping in Supraspinatus Tendinitis

“…Extra corporeal shock wave therapy has been applied in different dosage in the treatment of supraspinatus tendinitis and similar effect was noticed in low and high intensity since there is no universally accepted dosage for non-calcifying tendinitis [16] . Previous studies advocated the use of kinesio taping in shoulder pathologies like supraspinatus tendinitis or sub-acromial impingement syndrome, as they are helpful in relieving pain using gate control theory, decreasing edema and supporting the facial function [8,13,17] . Results from different studies were contrary to the findings of this study.…”
