Short- and medium-term effect of kinesio taping or electrical stimulation in hemiplegic shoulder pain prevention: A randomized controlled pilot trial.

Objective: To compare the short and medium-term effectiveness of combining Kinesio Tape (KT) or neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) with a conventional approach to prevent shoulder pain after stroke.

Methods: Thirty-one first-time stroke survivors (58.06% females) were recruited and randomly assigned to one group; Control (n = 10), KT (n = 11), or NMES (n = 10).
