In the first, thirty club archers in Tehran, on the shoulder of the drawing arm: at 60 degrees of external rotation the repositioning error goes from 5.91 to 0.99 degrees, while at 30 degrees the mean error was already close to zero (0.60 degrees), meaning there was no systematic deviation to correct, and it does not change. At both angles the spread of individual errors falls by about half, but nobody put it to a test. In the second, twenty-two Indonesian barebow archers aged 14 to 18 with tape on the bow arm for four weeks, the error after treatment is lower at p below 0.01, but the starting values are not reported and the archers were chosen precisely because their error was larger, which leaves room for a simple drift back towards the average; adding Flexi-bar exercises improves nothing. The signal in favour comes from two small samples, in regional journals and with no control, and at 30 degrees the first study finds no effect on the mean error: this is explained by the absence of any deviation to correct, but it is still a null result in archers, and the status is contested.claim:kinesio-tape-senso-posizione:revision:2026-06-13:2Sat, 13 Jun 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/health/kinesiology-tape-shoulder-position-senseclaim:kinesio-tape-senso-posizione:new_claim:2026-05-15:contestatoFri, 15 May 2026 08:00:00 GMT
