Özet
BackgroundKinesio tape (KT) is being applied increasingly in physical therapy and rehabilitation. This trial aimed to examine the effect of KT in terms of functional outcomes in people undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR).HypothesisKT after ARCR will reduce pain and edema.Study DesignA double-blind, randomized controlled trial.Level of EvidenceLevel 1b.MethodsA total of 45 patients who underwent ARCR were assigned randomly to 1 of 3 groups: KT (n = 15), sham taping (ST, n = 15), and control (n = 15). Participants received a conservative physiotherapy program. The physiotherapy program, which was conservative in nature, covered the first 7 weeks after surgery. In addition to the program, patients in the KT group were also treated with KT, while those in the ST group received ST. Pain levels (visual analog scale), edema, and functional scores (Western-Ontario Rotator Cuff Index …
