“…Suggesting the use of KT during sports or during physiotherapy rehabilitation in order take advantage of its immediate effects (27,28) . It is also reported the improved function provided by KT, because it does not restrict movement, giving more functionality (25,28,29) . Adapting the placement protocol, the researchers found that in the short term there is reduction of pain levels after the first week of intervention with KT in night pain, rest and activity scores (12) .…”

“…The KT protocol was already used in an identified or adapted way in other studies, however the effects on myoelectric activity in the shoulder were not evaluated, only the level of pain in different situations (12,13,25,26) . Using the same protocol evaluating pain level, the investigators studied the influence of KT on pain and disability in individuals diagnosed with SIS or rotator cuff tendonitis in the abduction, flexion, elevation movements in the plane of the scapula during a period of 6 days, performing evaluations on the 1st, 3rd and 6th day (13) .…”

ABSTRACT:Introduction: The complex shoulder joint is equipped with the greater joint mobility of the body, however, is commonly injured in repetitive, sport or occupational activities. Shoulder Impact Syndrome (SIS) is one of the most common injuries affecting the shoulder, thus causing limitations in its functionality. Several strategies have been used by physiotherapy for prevention and rehabilitation of SIS, one of them is the Kinesio Taping (KT). However, even with its abundant use there is still no clear evidence of its benefits. Objective: The aim of the study was to examine the effect of KT on myoelectric activity and the level of pain in patients with SIS. Method: Seven women with SIS participated, which performed the flexion and shoulder abduction up to 90° with and without KT. During the gestures, the pain level and surface electromyography data of the upper trapezoid, middle deltoid and anterior serratus were acquired. The treatment of the electromyography data was performed in the BIOMEC-SAS software and presented as percentage values of the maximum voluntary contraction. To compare the myoelectric activity and pain levels, it was performed, respectively, one way ANOVA and the Wilcoxon test (α <0.05). Results: Pain reductions were observed and myoelectric activity of upper trapezius (46.0±34.4% MVIC to 35.6 ± 19.5% MVIC) and middle deltoid (39.0±11.5% MVIC to 35.2±12.5% MVIC) in motion abduction use of KT. No changes were observed in the signs during flexion movement. Conclusion: Finally, the KT generated a reduction in the level of pain and myoelectric activity of the middle deltoid and upper trapezius in the movement of abduction in patients with SIS.

“…Some specific elastic-taping techniques have become increasingly popular as clinicians try to solve a variety of musculoskeletal problems. Whereas the underlying mechanisms of taping are still unclear, researchers 21 have proposed that taping works by offering constant proprioceptive feedback or providing alignment correction during dynamic movements. Hsu et al 19 investigated the immediate effects of elastic taping on scapular kinematics, muscle strength, and electromyographic activity in baseball players with shoulder impingement.…”

“…15 Clinicians often manage SIS with various treatment techniques to address the strength deficits and altered pattern of scapular kinematics that lead to injury and are modifiable characteristics to improve patient outcomes, such as reducing pain and decreasing shoulder dysfunction. These techniques include, but are not limited to, posterior shoulder stretching for capsular abnormalities 16,17 ; scapular bracing to correct poor posture 18 ; taping that was claimed to correct aberrant kinematic patterns due to poor rotator cuff or scapular muscle function [19][20][21] ; thoracic spine manipulation to readjust the alignment of thoracic vertebrae where important scapular muscles are attached, modify costovertebral mobility, or possibly enhance neuromuscular control of scapulothoracic muscles [22][23][24][25] ; rotator cuff and other scapular muscle strengthening 8,16,[26][27][28][29] to stabilize or position the scapula properly 30 during dynamic shoulder movement; neuromuscular reeducation for coordinated activation of scapular muscles during shoulder movement 27,29 ; and manual therapy, such as joint mobilization to restore proper joint mobility. 31,32 The variation in intervention approaches is directly related to various views on the mechanism leading to impingement.…”

Context Impaired scapular kinematics are commonly reported in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). Various therapeutic interventions designed to improve scapular kinematics and minimize pain and disability have been described in the literature. However, the short- and long-term benefits of these interventions are unclear. Objective To determine the effects of specific short- and long-term therapeutic interventions on scapular kinematics and disability in patients with SIS. Data Sources We searched PubMed, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus databases from their origins to January 2018 using a combination of the key words scapular kinematics AND (shoulder dysfunction OR subacromial impingement) and conducted a manual search by reviewing the references of the identified papers. Study Selection Studies were included if (1) preintervention and postintervention measures were available; (2) patient-reported outcomes were reported; (3) scapular kinematics measures at 90° of ascending limb elevation in the scapular plane were included; (4) SIS was diagnosed in participants or participants self-reported symptoms of SIS; (5) they were original clinical studies published in English; and (6) the sample sizes, means, and measure of variability for each group were reported. Data Extraction Seven studies were found. Sample sizes, means, and standard deviations of scapular upward rotation, posterior tilt, and internal rotation at 90° of ascending limb elevation on the scapular plane and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand scores were extracted. Data Synthesis Standardized mean differences between preintervention and postintervention measures with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. We observed that the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand scores improved (mean difference = 0.85; 95% CI = 0.54, 1.16) but did not observe changes in scapular upward rotation (mean difference = −0.04; 95% CI = −0.31, 0.22), posterior tilt (mean difference = −0.09; 95% CI = −0.32, 0.15), or internal rotation (mean difference = 0.06; 95% CI = −0.19, 0.31). Conclusions The short- and long-term therapeutic interventions for SIS improved patient-reported outcomes but not scapular kinematics. The identified improvements in shoulder pain and function were not likely explained by changes in scapular kinematics.
