“…The effects of the Kinesio taping method have also been evaluated. For type II SD, the placement of Kinesio taping over the upper and lower trapezius muscles may rebalance the scapular muscles, increasing the upward scapular rotation [144]; on the other hand, they do not induce changes in the electromyographic activity of serratus anterior, upper and lower trapezius muscles. No alteration in isometric force during shoulder flexo-abduction and external rotation has been shown [145].…”

Background: This study intends to summarize the causes, clinical examination, and treatments of scapular dyskinesis (SD) and to briefly investigate whether alteration can be managed by a precision rehabilitation protocol planned on the basis of features derived from clinical tests. Methods: We performed a comprehensive search of PubMed, Cochrane, CINAHL and EMBASE databases using various combinations of the keywords “Rotator cuff”, “Scapula”, “Scapular Dyskinesis”, “Shoulder”, “Biomechanics” and “Arthroscopy”. Results: SD incidence is growing in patients with shoulder pathologies, even if it is not a specific injury or directly related to a particular injury. SD can be caused by multiple factors or can be the trigger of shoulder-degenerative pathologies. In both cases, SD results in a protracted scapula with the arm at rest or in motion. Conclusions: A clinical evaluation of altered shoulder kinematics is still complicated. Limitations in observing scapular motion are mainly related to the anatomical position and function of the scapula itself and the absence of a tool for quantitative SD clinical assessment. High-quality clinical trials are needed to establish whether there is a possible correlation between SD patterns and the specific findings of shoulder pathologies with altered scapular kinematics.

“…18 Kinesio taping could be applied as an effective adjuvant therapy to reduce the upper trapezius activity and to increase lower trapezius activity resulting in more scapular posterior tilt during functional activities. 30 Lower trapezius taping showed a significant increase in scapular posterior tilt in baseball players with shoulder impingement syndrome. 31 Moreover, the relation between the shoulder proprioception and kinematic has been previously described.…”

Objective: To investigate if adding Kinesio tape to therapeutic exercise is an effective treatment to improve clinical outcomes compared to therapeutic exercise alone and no intervention, in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome. Design: Three-arm randomized controlled trial Setting: Outpatient setting Subjects: One hundred and twenty patients (mean (SD): age 37.8 (5.4)) with shoulder impingement syndrome. Intervention: Patients were randomly assigned to eight-weeks therapeutic exercise alone, therapeutic exercise with Kinesio tape, and control group. Main measures: Pain was measured with a numerical rating scale and disability and scapular kinematics were measured with a relative questionnaire and motion analysis software respectively, at baseline and after eight-weeks intervention. Results: There was significant differences in therapeutic exercise with Kinesio tape group vs. therapeutic exercise alone and control group respectively for pain ( d = –0.34, P = 0.042; and d = –1.53, P = 0.001), disability ( d = –0.46, P = 0.024; and d = –2.18, P = 0.001), scapular upward rotation at sagittal plane ( d = 0.33, P = 0.033; and d = 0.68, P = 0.001), scapular plane ( d = 0.18, P = 0.045; and d = 0.43, P = 0.001), scapular tilt at sagittal plane ( d = 0.55, P = 0.043; and d = 1.39, P = 0.001), and scapular plane ( d = 0.29, P = 0.034; and d = 0.58, P = 0.001). Therapeutic exercise alone was superior over control group in all significant outcomes ( P < 0.05). Conclusion: Although therapeutic exercises alone showed positive effect on clinical outcomes, adding Kinesio tape to therapeutic exercises had more significant effects with larger effect sizes. Adding Kinesio tape to therapeutic exercise may be of some assistance to clinicians in improving clinical outcomes in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.

“…A bandagem elástica é uma fita elástica adesiva utilizada na prevenção e reabilitação de lesões musculoesqueléticas com objetivo de proporcionar diminuição da dor, promover suporte, estabilidade, proteção e propriocepção durante os movimentos [1][2][3][4][5]. O complexo do ombro vem sendo foco de estudos com a bandagem elástica e de seus efeitos sobre a atividade eletromiográfica (EMG) dos músculos periescapulares [6][7][8] e sobre a cinemática escapular [7][8][9][10] de indivíduos assintomáticos, com discinesia escapular [11,12] ou com síndrome do impacto do ombro (SIO).…”

“…Nesta perspectiva, o uso da bandagem elástica aplicada perpendicularmente sobre o trapézio descendente (TD) preconiza justamente o oposto: diminuição da atividade do trapézio descendente [3,8,11,12,20], aumento da atividade do serrátil anterior [8] e alteração do onset dos músculos escapulares [3]. Entretanto, não parece haver ainda um consenso na literatura sobre os efeitos de inibição e facilitação da bandagem [21,22].…”

Introdução: A bandagem elástica é uma fita elástica adesiva utilizada na prevenção e reabilitação do complexo do ombro. Entretanto, existem divergências na literatura sobre seus efeitos na atividade eletromiográfica dos músculos periescapulares durante exercícios com carga. Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos da bandagem elástica na atividade eletromiográfica de músculos periescapulares durante o movimento de flexão do ombro sem carga e com halter em indivíduos saudáveis. Métodos: Vinte e seis indivíduos do sexo masculino realizaram o movimento de flexão do ombro sem carga e com halter com a bandagem elástica sobre o trapézio descendente. Foram avaliadas as atividades eletromiográficas de trapézio descendente, trapézio ascendente e serrátil anterior. São comparados os valores de pico e RMS em percentual da contração isométrica voluntária máxima através da ANOVA One Way. Resultados: Na flexão de ombro com halter ocorreu diminuição do pico da atividade eletromiográfica do trapézio descendente (p = 0,035). Não houve influência sobre os demais músculos periescapulares (p > 0,05). Conclusão: A bandagem elástica diminuiu o pico da atividade eletromiográfica do trapézio descendente durante a flexão do ombro com halter. Pode-se aplicar este resultado na prevenção de indivíduos que podem tender a aumentar a atividade do trapézio descendente.
