Abstract

Background : This study was conducted to investigate the effects of scapular setting exercises and taping on muscle activity and upper limb function in stroke patients.
Design : Randomized Controlled Trial or Cross-sectional Study.
Methods : The 28 participants in this study were randomly assigned to either the Taping + Scapular Setting Exercise (SSE) group(n=14) or the SSE group(n=14). Both groups performed scapular setting exercise. The subjects in the Taping + SSE group had taping applied to the rotator cuff as an additional intervention. All the participants underwent 30 sessions of scapular setting exercise(30 minutes, 5 days per week for 6 weeks). In this study, muscle activation was measured using a surface eletromyography, and upper extremity function was measured using a Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA).
Results : The muscle activation, upper extremity function in the Taping + SSE group was significantly improved compared to the SSE group(p<0.05).
Conclusion : The results of this study indicate that scapular setting exercises combined with taping are a beneficial method for improving muscle activation and upper extremity function in stroke patients.
