The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of kinesiotaping and pectoralis minor stretching exercise on forward shoulder angle in female subjects with rounded shoulder posture
Method:Twenty female students aged between 18 to 25 years old with rounded shoulder posture participate in this study. To determine the amount of rounded shoulder posture, forward shoulder angle is measured after digital photography. Subjects with forward shoulder angle equal or greater than 52 degrees consider to have rounded shoulder posture. Then, the subjects are assigned to two groups randomly: the stretch group and the stretch plus kinesiotape group. Both groups are trained for doing home exercise to stretch Pectoralis minor bilaterally for two weeks. Kinesiotape group is received kinesiotape on scapular area additionally. Forward shoulder angle is measured in four sessions including pre-intervention (first session), immediately after the first intervention (second session), fourth day (third session) and at the end of two weeks (fourth session).
