A retrospective analysis of the promoting effect of kinesio taping on the rehabilitation of military personnel with recurrent shoulder dislocation caused by training injury.
Trial report in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundKinesio taping, as a non-invasive, non-pharmacological elastic taping technique, has become increasingly popular in sports injury management due to its safety, non-restrictive nature, and lack of interference with joint movement. This study aims to evaluate whether conventional comprehensive rehabilitation combined with kinesio taping can more effectively improve rehabilitation outcomes in military personnel following surgery for recurrent shoulder dislocation caused by training injuries.
methodsSixty military personnel with recurrent shoulder dislocation caused by training injury were selected and randomly divided into a study group and a control group, with 30 cases in each group.The control group received conventional rehabilitation therapy, including physical agent modalities (ultrasound), cryotherapy and exercise therapy. The study group received, in addition to all treatments administered to the control group, shoulder-specific kinesio taping (using I-strip, Y-strip, and fan-cut strips applied over the supraspinatus muscle, deltoid muscle, and glenohumeral joint area, changed daily). After 6 weeks of treatment, shoulder joint range of motion, UCLA(The university of California at Los Angeles shoulder rating scale)score, and Constant-Murley score were compared between the two groups.
resultsAfter treatment, the range of motion for shoulder flexion, abduction, internal rotation, external rotation, and extension increased in both groups compared to pre-treatment values (P < 0.05). Similarly, the UCLA and Constant-Murley scores also improved significantly in both groups (P < 0.05). The study group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in shoulder joint mobility (P < 0.05), UCLA score (P < 0.05), and Constant-Murley score (P < 0.05) compared to the control group.
conclusionConventional comprehensive rehabilitation therapy combined with kinesio taping can better improve the range of motion and activities of daily living in postoperative military personnel with recurrent shoulder dislocation caused by training injury.
