BACKGROUND: Shoulder pain is a very common musculoskeletal disorder that affects many people, with rotator cuff (RC) injury as one of its main causes. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the efficacy of KT, both isolated and associated with exercise, on pain and function of patients with shoulder RC injuries. METHOD: A randomized, blind clinical trial with sixty (60) participants with RC injuries, randomized into exercise group (EG), in which participants performed an exercise protocol; Kinesio Tape group (KTG), with application of the elastic bandage; and exercise plus Kinesio Tape group (EKTG), in which participants performed both protocols. We evaluated pain intensity, active and passive mobility, muscle strength, and function. RESULTS: All intervention groups significantly improved pain, disability, and function. Regarding the latter, EKTG showed significantly greater improvements than EG and KTG (p < 0.05). In addition, EKTG improved muscle strength in all evaluated movements. Groups EG and EKTG improved range of motion in all evaluated movements, for both the right and left shoulder. CONCLUSIONS: Exercises were the basis of the treatment of RC injury. When associated with an exercise protocol, Kinesio Tape (KT) enhanced the effect of exercise in patients with shoulder RC injury. In isolation, KT was effective in reducing pain.
