Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Kinesio Taping on the position sense of shoulder after muscle fatigue.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Fatigue; Proprioception	Other: Kinesio taping with tension; Other: Kinesio taping without tension; Other: Fatigue protocol	N/A

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Other: Control In this session, participants will be evaluated before and after a muscle fatigue protocol, with no intervention.	Other: Fatigue protocol
Experimental: Kinesio taping with tension A kinesio taping technique for the deltoid muscle will be applied before fatigue protocol and removed after in the end of the evaluation session. Subjects will be evaluated before taping, after taping and after the fatigue protocol.	Other: Kinesio taping with tension; Other: Fatigue protocol
Sham Comparator: Kinesio taping without tension A kinesio taping technique will be applied on the deltoid muscle without tension (tension is considered to be the therapeutic effect) before fatigue protocol and removed after in the end of the evaluation session. Subjects will be evaluated before taping, after taping and after the fatigue protocol.	Other: Kinesio taping without tension; Other: Fatigue protocol

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. Changes in joint repositioning angle errors [Baseline (in the beginning of the session, without taping), 5 minutes after taping (or equivalent time resting, in the control session) and average of 3 minutes after fatigue protocol.]

   The joint repositioning errors will be measured during active repositioning trials of shoulder abduction in scapular plane using an iPod app.
