Interventions

Behavioral : The kinesiology tape (BB Tape

WETAPE Inc., Seoul, Korea) is applied by a skilled occupational therapist. kinesiology taping is divided into two parts: KT-A and KT-B. This purpose of the two-part design is to support the structure

stretch in a “Y” shape over the anterior region of the neck. The KT-B technique consists of application to the line of the mandible upward from the hyoid bone, with an approximate 30&#37

stretch over the anterior region of the neck targeting the suprahyoid muscles.
