Abstract

[Purpose] We examined the effect on scapula position of Kinesio® taping between the shoulder blades. [Subjects and Method] The subjects were 18 males with no disorders of the shoulder. We measured the position of the shoulder blades with a tape measure, with the arms hanging down, and in shoulder abduction of 90, and 180°, and compared the changes in position after the application of Kinesio® tape. [Results] After the application of Kinesio® tape between the shoulder blades, thoracic kyphosis reduced, and in the arms hanging down position the scapula became adducted. [Conclusion] The results suggest the possibility that scapula motion is changed by the application of Kinesio® taping between the shoulder blades.<br>
