본 연구는 견관절 통증이 있는 노인을 대상으로 테이핑 요법과 수동적 관절가동범위운동이 견관절의 통증, 관절 가동력, 손의 민첩성에 미치는 효과를 확인하기 위하여 실시하였다. 연구대상자는 B시의 D복지관을 이용하는 65세의 이상의 노인들 중 견관절 통증을 호소하는 노인 40명이었고 연구기간은 4주간 총12회로 테이핑 요법과 수동적 관절가동범위운동을 적용하였다. 연구를 시작하기 전과 후에 견관절의 통증, 견관절의 가동범위, 손의 민첩성을 측정하였다. 통증정도는 시각적 상사척도를 사용하여 측정하였고, 견관절의 가동범위는 인체각도기를 사용하여 측정하였다. 유의수준은 p<.05로 설정하였다. 그 결과, 테이핑과 수동적 관절가동범위 운동을 적용 후에 노인의 견관절 통증은 감소하였고 견관절의 가동력과 손의 민첩성이 증가하였다. 노인의 견관절 통증의 감소정도와 손의 민첩성 정도는 테이핑군과 관절 범위운동군 간에 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 노인의 견관절 가동범위의 변화정도는 관절범위운동군보다 테이핑군에서 견관절 신전과 외전에서 관절의 범위가 증가하는 정도가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 테이핑요법과 수동적 관절범위운동은 노인의 견관절 통증을 감소시키고, 관절가동범위, 손의 민첩성과 같은 신체적인 기능의 개선을 가져온다고 할 수 있겠다. 또한 테이핑의 적용이 견관절 운동범위 증가에는 더 효과적이라고 할 수 있다.
