Used a standard 5-cm black tape. Taping procedure followed this order: supraspinatus muscle, deltoid muscle, and glenohumeral joint. The first strip of tape was torn down just above the anchor point where Y strip was formed. The anchor point of the strip was taped to the projection of insertion of the supraspinatus muscle on the greater tubercle, and then the whole strip was taped along the supraspinatus muscle along the spine of the scapula to the muscle's origin, with paper-off tension and with approxi- mately 20% to 25% stretch. Deltoid muscle was taped using Y strip as well, which was applied from anchor site, 3 cm below deltoid insertion to its origin, with paper-off tension. The front tail of Y strip was taped along the anterior edge of the deltoid, and the back tail was applied along the posterior edge of the deltoid muscle. Finally, glenohumeral joint was taped using an I strip, which was applied from a coracoid process following laterally, below the acromion, and around the posterior deltoid edge .
