Abstract :

[en] Scapular dyskinesis is observed in 61% of overhead athletes (Burn et al., 2016). For most of them, it remains asymptomatic. However, scapular dyskinesis is considered a risk factor for shoulder injury by some authors (Clarsen et al., 2014). The aim of this study is to explore the effectiveness of kinesiotaping in modifying scapular kinematics and peri-scapular muscle activity in dyskinetic athletes. The 3-dimensional position and orientation of the scapula as well as the activation of upper trapezius, lower trapezius and serratus anterior were recorded in twenty asymptomatic athletes during shoulder movements (flexion and abduction), in loaded and unloaded conditions and in three circumstances (standard, kinesiotaping 1, kinesiotaping 2). A significant decrease between 9 and 12% in upper trapezius activity was observed with kinesiotaping 1 and 2. Lower trapezius activity was slightly increased with kinesiotaping 1 while it was significantly decreased about 15–20% with kinesiotaping 2. No change was observed in serratus anterior activity, for either kinesiotaping 1 or 2. Considering scapular kinematics, both kinesiotaping 1 and 2 significantly increased posterior tilt and upward rotation. External rotation was decreased with kinesiotaping 2, in comparison to standard condition. Kinesiotaping, and especially taping 1, seems to be an effective method for changing periscapular muscle activity and scapular kinematics.
