Kinesio tape, Functional correction, Rounded shoulder
Brief summary
The objective of this research is to study the effect of kinesio tapes with functional correction technique in combination with exercise management to increase strength and decrease pain, in people with rounded shoulders. The study would be evaluated with the EvaltechTM machine, (functional capacity assessment).
Detailed description
Participants * Age 25-50 years, male and female * People who have a shoulder condition. (By measuring in the supine position, distance from the posterior aspect of acromion to the bed\> 1 inch on both sides) * People with moderate to severe neck and shoulder pain (VAS\> 3) * People who have to use their arms for work Overall more than 3 hours per day For attaching the tape, the researcher will prepare a replacement shirt in case the For the convenience of tape, the experimental group, trained by Certified Kinesio tape, attached the kinesio tape. Attaching the tape By using functional correction techniques, apply from the front of the acromion process to the spinous process T10 on both sides. Measurements 1. The pressure of (average of peak force) of both arms (pounds) 2. The pulling force (average of peak force) of both arms (pounds) 3. Time of overhead endurance test (TMT) (seconds) 4. Visual analog scale (VAS) 5. The distance from the posterior aspect of acromion to the bed (inches) process of measuring the evaluation 3 times 1. st after physical therapy treatment Before attaching the kinase tape 2. nd evaluation period was 48 hours apart before the next treatment. 3. rd evaluation period is 1 week apart.
Interventions
OTHERKinesio tape, functional correction technique
According to Kinesio Taping, functional correction technique could use for correcting shoulder, scapular alignment and decrease pain.
OTHERElastic band strengthening shoulder exercise
The exercise in which both groups will receive Introduction of exercise with rubber bands (Elastic band) It is a home exercise (Home base exercise program) for patients to do with appropriate resistance. Which can be done at least 10 times and not more than 20 times continuously,will be asked to do all 3 positions. 1\) Shoulder external rotation in shoulder abduction 90 degrees 2) Shoulder horizontal abduction in shoulder abduction 90 degrees 3) Seated bend row, which will be done 15 times, each hold for 10 seconds, do 3 sets, each set rest 2 minutes, 2 times a day ( Morning-evening) consecutively for 1 week

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The pushing force (average of peak force) of both arms (pounds) | 2 minutes | Maximum strength of pushing, measures by Evaltech machine |
| The pulling force (average of peak force) of both arms (pounds) | 2 minutes | Maximum strength of pulling, measures by Evaltech machine |
| Time measurement tolerance (TMT) (seconds) | 4 minutes | Time tolerance of overhead reaching, measures by Evaltech machine |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual analog pain scale (VAS) | 1 minute | 0-10 centimeters visual analog scale, higher score means higher pain and worse outcome |
| The distance from the posterior aspect of acromion to the bed (inches) | 2 minutes | Measure in lying position by measurement tape |
