Developing issues in the shoulder always restricts the function of the shoulder and degrading the activities of daily living. Range of motion of the affected shoulder is limited by the prevailing pain and impacts on quality of life of the patient. Kinesio taping is applied over the affected shoulder intending to reduce the pain. The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to identify the effects of kinesio taping in stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain.
A systematic search was conducted in the database of CINHAL, PubMed, ProQuest, and manual search. Determined criteria for inclusion and exclusion were executed. Results were retrieved in accordance with their date of publication from 2013 to 2023.
The results included three systematic reviews, four randomized controlled trials, and one single-group pre-post design pilot feasibility study. Depending on the reviewed articles, kinesio taping reduces hemiplegic shoulder pain.
Application of kinesio taping on hemiplegic shoulder pain could reduce the shoulder pain of the affected side. Hence, it will upgrade the quality of life, range of motion and functional ability of the patient.
