This study was 9 males who had hemiparesis with limitation of range of motion (ROM) and subluxation on affected side. Patients received proprioreptive facilitation using shoulder weight shifting and additional A type and B type taping. As a result of this study, Patients showed reduction of the subluxation on hemiplegic shoulder joint. but it was difficult to generalize. We concluded that proprioceptive facilitation using shoulder weight shifting and taping therapy was effective in reducing severe shoulder subluxation.
