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.

Conditions

• Shoulder Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Kinesio tape, functional correction technique	According to Kinesio Taping, functional correction technique could use for correcting shoulder, scapular alignment and decrease pain.
OTHER	Elastic 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
