Effects of Kinesio Taping on Thoracolumbar Fascia Flexibility in Patients With Subacromial Impingement Syndrome

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the acute effects of fascia correction Kinesio Taping applied to the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) in individuals with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS). Participants will be randomly allocated into an intervention group and a sham taping control group. The intervention group will receive fascia correction Kinesio Taping applied to the thoracolumbar region, while the control group will receive sham taping without therapeutic effect. Clinical parameters including pain intensity, trunk range of motion, thoracolumbar fascia flexibility, lumbar mobility, and posterior shoulder capsule tightness will be assessed before the intervention and 45 minutes after the application. This study aims to provide evidence regarding the acute clinical effects of thoracolumbar fascia modulation in individuals with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome.

Szczegółowy opis

Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS) is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain and is characterized by pain, movement limitation, and functional impairment. Contemporary biomechanical perspectives suggest that shoulder function is influenced not only by local anatomical structures but also by proximal structures such as the thorax, spine, and thoracolumbar fascia. The thoracolumbar fascia plays an important role in force transmission between the upper and lower extremities and contributes to postural control and movement coordination. Therefore, interventions targeting the thoracolumbar fascia may influence shoulder function and related clinical outcomes.

This randomized controlled trial will include a total of 60 participants diagnosed with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome. Participants will be randomly assigned into two groups: an intervention group receiving fascia correction Kinesio Taping using the Ram's Head technique applied to the thoracolumbar fascia, and a control group receiving sham Kinesio Taping without therapeutic fascia correction.

In the intervention group, Y-shaped Kinesio Tape will be applied to the thoracolumbar region using the fascia correction technique. Low-to-moderate tape tension (10-50%) combined with manual oscillatory movements will be used to facilitate fascial mobilization and modulate tissue glide capacity. The sham group will receive taping without therapeutic fascial correction.

Assessments will be performed immediately before the intervention and 45 minutes after tape application. Outcome measures will include pain intensity during rest and activity assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), trunk range of motion measured by goniometry, trunk flexibility assessed by tape measurements, thoracolumbar fascia flexibility evaluated using a goniometric platform, lumbar mobility assessed by the Modified Schober Test, and posterior shoulder capsule tightness measurement.

The primary aim of this study is to investigate the acute clinical effects of fascia correction Kinesio Taping applied to the thoracolumbar fascia in individuals with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome and to provide evidence regarding the potential effects of fascial modulation on pain, mobility, range of motion, and tissue flexibility.

Aktywny komparator: Kinesio Taping Group
Participants in this group will receive the "Ram's Horn" fascia correction technique using Kinesio Taping applied to the thoracolumbar fascia region. The base (anchor) of a Y-shaped kinesiology tape will be applied without tension between the lateral iliac crest and the axillary line. From this anchor point, the tape will be divided into two tails. The first tail will be directed superiorly over the scapular region and attached along the superior border of the scapula. The second tail will be directed inferiorly and posteriorly across the lumbar region toward the superior aspect of the iliac crest, creating a configuration resembling a ram's horn. During the application of both tape tails, oscillatory fascial correction movements will be performed manually by shifting the underlying fascia while the tape is applied. No tension will be applied to the anchor portion of the tape. The technique is intended to provide a fascial correction effect throughout the thoracolumbar region.
Inny: kinesio taping
Assessments will be performed immediately before the intervention and 45 minutes after tape application in both groups. Outcome measures will include pain intensity during rest and activity assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), trunk range of motion measured by goniometry, trunk flexibility assessed by tape measurements, thoracolumbar fascia flexibility evaluated using a goniometric platform, lumbar mobility assessed by the Modified Schober Test, and posterior shoulder capsule tightness. Participants in the intervention group will receive corrective kinesio taping applied in a horn-shaped configuration, whereas the sham group will receive a tension-free tape application from the lateral trunk/axillary region toward the hip without therapeutic fascial correction.

Pozorny komparator: control group
Participants in the sham group will receive a placebo taping application using a Y-shaped kinesiology tape. The tape will be applied without tension and without the oscillatory fascial correction maneuvers used in the Ram's Horn technique. The anchor will be placed near the axillary region, and both tails of the Y-shaped tape will be directed inferiorly toward the iliac crest in a random, non-corrective configuration. The tape will not be arranged in the characteristic ram's horn pattern and will be applied without any intended therapeutic fascial correction effect.

Assessments will be performed immediately before the intervention and 45 minutes after tape application in both groups. Outcome measures will include pain intensity during rest and activity assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), trunk range of motion measured by goniometry, trunk flexibility assessed by tape measurements, thoracolumbar fascia flexibility evaluated using a goniometric platform, lumbar mobility assessed by the Modified Schober Test, and posterior shoulder capsule tightness.

thoracolumbar fascia flexibility
Ramy czasowe: 15 minutes
The flexibility of the thoracolumbar fascia was evaluated using a goniometric platform. A goniometric platform was placed on a table in front of the participants. Patients were asked to clasp their hands in front at 90° of shoulder flexion, holding a wooden marker between their hands. Patients performed maximum trunk rotation, first to the right and then to the left, while ensuring their arms followed the movement of the trunk. The rotation degree reached by the marker was recorded on the goniometric platform. The test was repeated three times for each direction with one-minute rest intervals, and the average values were recorded. A decrease in rotation range during repeated trials or restricted movement was considered indicative of TLF tightness.

Pain intensity was evaluated using a 10 cm VAS (0: no pain, 10: worst pain). Measurements were recorded at baseline and 45 minutes post-taping in two conditions: Resting Pain: Pain level while the participant was in a relaxed position. Activity Pain: Pain level during basic activities, such as arm movements and walking. The distance between the marked point and the zero point was measured in centimeters using a ruler

Modified schober test
Ramy czasowe: 5 minutes
The physiotherapist determined the SIPS with a pencil. The midpoint of the line connecting the Spina İliaca Posterior Superior (SIPS) is marked. The point 10 cm above and 5 cm below this point was determined with a tape measure. The person was asked to perform maximum trunk flexion. The distance between these two points was measured. The difference was less than 5 cm, indicating low back flexibility
