Investigation of Immediate Efficacy of Kinesiology Taping

"Standard 5 cm Kinesio Tex will be used. Initially, a Y-strip was paper-off (without tension) from the starting point to the insertion of the supraspinatus, while the participants were reaching with their upper extremities behind their backs and flexing their necks to the contralateral side. Second, an I-strip from the coracoid process will be applied around the posterior deltoid using approximately 50% to 75% downward flexion. Initially, the shoulder will be externally rotated without elevation, and then slightly horizontally adduction and forward elevation as the end of the band is applied without stretching. This I strip is shaped like a Y at the end of the tape.~Finally, a Y-strip will be applied using paper-off tension from the T10-T12 region to the medial border of the scapula to facilitate the lower trapezius muscle. For this technique, the shoulder was adducted horizontally and the middle tail was applied with the hands crossed over the chest."

Standard placebo taping will be applied to the placebo Kinesio taping group with a standard 5 cm Kinesio Tex. Two tension-free strips will be applied separately to the acromioclavicular joint and lower trapezius muscle. Suspicious participants will be excluded from the study.
