Enrollment

6 participants

Start Date

May 20, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Shoulder Pain Subacromial Impingement Syndrome

Summary

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.

Interventions

OTHERkinesio 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.
