Mid-term effects of two different Kinesio tape treatments in female patients with subacromial impingement syndrome: Randomized controlled ultrasonographic study

Subacromial pain accounts for up to 70% of all shoulder pain problems and can impair the ability to work or do household tasks.1 It is characterized by pain, which is usually localized to the anterior and lateral aspect of the acromion, increasing at night and progressing insidiously, reducing the range of motion (ROM).2 An anatomical cause for subacromial pain has been proposed, whereby mechanical contact occurs between the rotator cuff tendons and the overlying acromion or the bone spur that often forms at the anteroinferior margin of the acromion, narrowing the subacromial space.
