Comparison of the Effects of Kinesio Taping in Combination with Exercise Training with only Exercise Training on the Static Posture of Forward-head, Forward-shoulder Posture Swimmers with and without pain
Comparison of the Effects of Kinesio Taping in Combination with Exercise Training with only Exercise Training on the Dynamic Posture of Forward-head, Forward-shoulder Posture Swimmers with and without pain
Design
The present study is a phase 3 of randomized controlled trial parallel group with parallel groups. In this study 40 swimmers from 11 to 22 years of age with a FHP angle of 47 degrees and a FSP angle of 50 degrees that will be selected through screening in Shiraz pools. The participants are randomly assigned into two groups of Kinesio Taping combined with exercise training group and the exercise training group.
Settings and conduct
The research will be conducted in the Shiraz city and participants will be selected from the pools of this city. Blinding is not done.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Participants are enrolled by one of the research colleagues. An independent assessor, blinded person who had no further involvement in the study made a random allocation sequence using a computer Software prior to the initiation of the study that was used to randomize participants with 1:1 allocation ratio. A block randomization design (block size of 2, 4) were applied to ensure an equal number of participants in each group. Randomization was stratified by pain (with pain vs. without pain) to ensure equal numbers of with pain and without pain swimmers in each study group. Group allocation was concealed in sequentially numbered, opaque, sealed envelopes, and corresponding envelopes were opened after enrolled participants completed all baseline assessments. As it is impossible to blind, laboratory specialists assessing the variables and data analyst were blinded to the allocation. Participants and corrective specialist providing the exercise training and physical therapist providing the KT were not blinded to group allocation.

Intervention groups
1
Description
Intervention group: kinsiotape -exercise group received a 10-week stretching and strengthening exercise program comprised of three 45-min sessions per week. Intervention sessions were conducted by a corrective exercise specialist in two group (n=10). Strengthening exercises targeted the scapular retractor and shoulder external rotator muscles. Participants performed three sets of 10 repetitions of all strengthening exercises. The stretching exercises aimed at increasing the flexibility of the pectoralis muscles, cervical neck extensors, and shoulder internal rotator muscles. Exercises were selected based on previous literatures. In addition to exercise training, receives kinetic typing for a period of 10 weeks. First two KT strips were used for mechanical correction with 50-100% stress. Tape was applied from the anterior aspect of the acromioclavicular joint to the T12 spinous process in a diagonal fashion. Other KT strip were used to supraspinatus muscle which mainly provides scapular stability. We used the KT Y-shaped strip to the deltoid muscle that was placed 3 cm below the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus without tension.
