Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  6 weeks   3 session per week for 6 weeks of conventional exercises and the groups which includes taping will be done twice a week for 6 weeks  
Comparator Agent  GROUP A (shoulder performance Kinesio taping along with conventional exercise)  For deltoid: One I-strip on middle deltoid muscle from acromion process to deltoid tuberosity of humerus with 50% of stretch with shoulder in 90-degree abduction. One I-strip on anterior deltoid fibres from lateral one third of clavicle to deltoid tuberosity of humerus with shoulder in extension and posterior fibres of deltoid muscle shoulder in flexed position tape is applied from lower lip of spine of scapula to the deltoid tuberosity of humerus with a 50% stretch. For scapula stabilization: One I strip from acromioclavicular joint to inferior angle of scapula in retraction with 50 % stretch, one I strip from medial head of clavicle to lower medial border of scapula in retraction with 50 % stretch. After taping the participant is allowed to do daily living activities and play badminton but is not allowed to do any form of exercises of upper-limb. The tapes will be changed two times in a week for 4 weeks.  
Comparator Agent  GROUP B (sham taping along with conventional exercises)  Same procedure is followed to this group; taping is done but without giving the stretch to give a placebo effect to the participant. 
Comparator Agent  GROUP C (conventional exercises)   Warm up exercises (5-8 mins) Arm swings ( 1 min ) Shoulder circles forward and backward ( 10 reps each) Wall angels (8 reps – 2 sets ) Overhead shoulder passes ( 2 mins ) Thoracic rotations ( 8 reps – 2 sets per side ) Wrist exercises ( 2 mins ) Training exercises (25-30 mins) Push-ups (12-15 reps – 3 sets) Wall push-ups (15-20 reps- 3 sets ) IYTW’s TheraBand exercises (8-10 reps – 3 sets) Overhead head throws ( 10 throws- 2 sets ) Arm circles small and large circles forward and backward ( 1 min each) Seated shoulder press with TheraBand ( 8 reps – 3 sets ) Lat pull with TheraBand (8-10 reps - 3sets) Cool down exercises (5-10 mins) Foam rolling for shoulder ( 1 min ) Triceps stretch ( 20-20 secs hold per side ) Wall clock stretch ( 20-20 secs hold per side ) Child pose with shoulder stretch ( 30-60 secs ) Cross body shoulder stretch ( 20-20 secs hold per side )
