Abstract
This study was performed to assess the efficacy of Kinesiotape for the frozen shoulder patients. The subjects of this study were 17 patients with frozen shoulder who visited the out-patient department of the physical therapy, Pyongchon Sacret Heart Hospital, Hallim University, from July. 3, 2000 through August 12, 2000. To find out the effect of kinesiotape therapy, we sampled 8 patients treated with electrotherapy and therapeutic exercise (control group), and 9 patients treated with electrotherapy and therapeutic exercise with kinesiotape(experimental group). All patients were treated 3 days a week for 5 weeks. The results after 5-week treatment, compared with before treatment, were as follows: 1. The increase in range of motion in the electrotherapy and therapeutic exercise with kinesiotape after 5-week treatment was very significant(p<0.01). 2 The increase in range of motion in the electrotherapy and therapeutic exercise after 5-week treatment was significant (p<0.05). 3. The pain of decrease in the electrotherapy and therapeutic exercise with kinesiotape after 5-week treatment was very significant (p<0.01). 4. The pain of decrease in the electrotherapy and therapeutic exercise with kinesiotape 5-week treatment was significant(p<0.05). 5. The electrotherapy and therapeutic exercise with kinesiotape was more effective in increasing the range of motion on shoulder than the electrotherapy and therapeutic exercise after 5-week treatment(p<0.01). 6. The pain of decrease in between electrotherapy. therapeutic exercise with kinesiotape electrotherapy and therapeutic exercise after 5-week treatment was no significant.
