Brief Summary:
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of kinesio taping on pulmonary function and forward shoulder posture in young adults Limited literature shows an association between forward shoulder posture and pulmonary function but the effect of kinesio taping for correction of forward shoulder posture and its consequences on pulmonary function is lacking in previous studies
Detailed Description:
Electronic devices and gadgets are mostly used for official and personal needs in this modern era This increased usage leads to poor posture especially in young adults The FSP is the most common incorrect posture in youngsters A study on posture correction shows the prevalence of rounded shoulders is 84 in the young adult age group of 18 to 24 years The misaligned posture causes changes in anatomical structure leading to many musculoskeletal problems Along with the musculoskeletal system FSP also decreases chest wall mobility lung capacities and overall respiratory function The respiratory muscles proper functions is need to expand the thoracic cavity The pectoralis muscles function is to elevate the rib cage and its tightness leads to lower chest expansion Rhomboids play a role in stabilizing the scapula which helps the serratus muscle in forced inspiration Weakness of middle and lower trapezius muscles causes the inability to straighten the back thus affecting the ability to raise and expand the chest properly Currently for posture correction usually in the form of conservative treatments such as stretching and strengthening exercises McKenzies exercises Pilates shoulder support braces electrical modalities etc are used to correct or reduce FSP It is a dire need to find out the best physiotherapy approach for the correction of forward shoulder posture as well as improvement in pulmonary function that is not time-consuming like other exercise interventions If the effectiveness of kinesio taping on pulmonary function is verified it will contribute to future use as the most suitable and less time-consuming approach in youngsters with FSP
