Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction The present study is a comparative study conducted on swimmers in order to check the effect of rigid taping on swimmers with shoulder impingement syndrome. Procedure In order to test the hypothesis, the samples were collected from various swimming clubs across Pune and were then randomly divided into two groups, i.e. a control group which was given a set of core rehabilitation for shoulder and the experimental group was given rigid taping in addition to the exercise programme. For the analyses purpose paired t-test was used for assessing the effect of rigid taping on swimmers with shoulder impingement syndrome. For measuring the effectiveness of rigid taping on swimmers, the functional assessment scale, manual muscle testing and numerical pain rating scale were used. Result The study showed that swimmers with shoulder impingement syndrome when treated with core exercises along with rigid taping showed marked improvement in the score of functional assessment scale (p 0.0001) ,manual muscle testing(p 0.0035) and significant reduction in the score of numerical pain rating scale(p 0.0001), as compared to that of the control group. Conclusion The study therefore concluded that rigid taping along with an exercise programme shows better results for treating shoulder impingement syndrome in swimmers.
