- Abstract
Background: There are inherent limitation in the injury surveillance strategies in identifying the authentic burden of accidents in cricket. Rotator cuff injury is more common in cricketers because of the use of upper limbs in all aspects of the game like batting, bowling, fielding. The use of Kinesio taping along with conventional OT protocol has shown significant improvement in the shoulder movements for those who are affected with cuff injury. Dynamic tapping plays a major role in biomechanical taping. It is used and designed to control load, control movements pattern, controlling the function. Objectives: The purpose of the study was to identify the effectiveness of leap motion sensor-based activities with dynamic tapping on upper extremity function for rotator cuff injured cricket bowlers. Study Design: Quasi-experimental study design. Method: 30 participants were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and were divided into two groups (control group and experimental group). The study consisted of 8 sessions and each session lasted for 45 minutes. Pre- test and post- test evaluation was administered with the Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Inventory (CAHAI). Result: The statistical analysis showed the significant changes in the experimental groups compare to the control group. The results of this study showed significant improvement in post-test of group which underwent taping with leap motion sensor- based activities with a mean score of 69.2 than the group which underwent taping with conventional occupational therapy which had a mean score of 61.87 (Z= -2.198, p<0.05; CI 47 to 80). Conclusion: Dynamic taping is a good modality for treatment but only assists the joint but does not cause a change by its own, additionally the leap motion-based activities can be incorporated to show significant improvement among participants.
