Background: The kinesiotape is an important addition which affects outcomes of physical therapy program. Although many attempts were done to determine the effectiveness of kinesiotape on muscle activity, It has not been fully clarified. The purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of kinesiotape on EMG of pectoralis major and rhomboids muscles in subjects with rounded shoulder. Material and methods: 30 subjects were suffering from rounded shoulders. Their age ranged from 18 to 25 years .Subjects were divided into two equal groups. Experimental group (group A) received traditional exercises (stretching of shortened muscles and strengthening of weak muscles) and kinesiotaping. Control group(group B) received only the traditional exercises. EMG activity was measured before and at the end of treatment program which continued for 7 days
