Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of scapular exercise and Kinesio taping of upper trapezius muscle on grip strength. Method: Subjects were consists of 15 males and 15 females who had disorder of upper extremity. The period of this study is 3 weeks (August 8-26, 2011). We had divided 3 groups, control group, Kinesio taping group, scapluar setting exercise (SSE) group. Results: Grip strength of control group was not significant difference (p>.05). Grip strength of Kinesio taping group was significant difference (p<.05). Grip strength of SSE group was significant difference (p<.05). Grip strength of control group, Kinesio taping group, SSE group were significant difference (p<.05). Conclusion: Kinesio taping group and SSE group are applying on upper trapezius. Both of two groups increased grip strength and was significant difference. Applying Kinesio taping on the upper trapezius and applying SSE on trapezius are effected on the grip strength.
