Effect of Kinesio Taping After Rotator Cuff Surgery
Sponsor: Olcay Yavuz
Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate whether postoperative kinesio taping provides additional benefits in pain reduction and functional recovery in patients who have undergone arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Patients diagnosed with rotator cuff tear who have undergone surgical treatment will be randomly assigned into two groups. One group will receive standard postoperative rehabilitation together with kinesio taping applied for three weeks, while the control group will receive standard postoperative rehabilitation alone. Pain levels and shoulder function will be assessed during postoperative follow-up using commonly accepted clinical evaluation scales. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to a better understanding of the role of kinesio taping in the recovery process after rotator cuff surgery.
