I evaluated the effectiveness of the California Tri-Pull Taping method
for clients with poststroke inferior shoulder subluxation of the glenohumeral
joint. METHOD: Ten participants were followed for 9 wk using an interrupted time
series quasi-experimental single-subject ABA design to examine shoulder pain,
activities of daily living (ADL) function, active range of motion, tape comfort, and subluxation. RESULTS: The California Tri-Pull Taping method decreased
inferior subluxation significantly from baseline to intervention but not at
postintervention. Active range of motion was significantly increased in shoulder
flexion and abduction between the baseline and intervention and the intervention
and postintervention phases. Functional ADL scores were significant. The taping
was reported to be comfortable. No significant difference in pain was found.
CONCLUSION: This intervention is a promising adjunct to the management of the
hemiplegic subluxed shoulder that warrants further research.
