The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of kinesio taping on vital capacity of subjects with rounded shoulder syndrome. 26 of 20s men and women in their with round shoulder syndrome were randomly assigned to an experimental and a control group. All subjects measured their vital capacity before starting the experiment, and rested for an hour. The experimental group applied kinesio taping while resting, and the control group did not take any intervention. After an hour, subjects were measured vital capacity again to compare the amount of change. The experimental group showed significant changes in FVC, FEV1, and PEF after an hour. In the control group, there were no significant changes in vital capacity. In comparison between groups, the experimental group showed significant differences in FVC, FEV1, and PEF compared to the control group. Kinesio taping is effective in improving vital capacity for subjects who have rounded shoulder syndrome.
