From: Immediate and short-term effects of kinesiotaping on muscular activity, mobility, strength and pain after rotator cuff surgery: a crossover clinical trial

Muscles

Electrode placement (location and orientation)

upper trapezius

50% on the line from the acromion to the spine on vertebra C7, in the direction of the line from the acromion to the spine on vertebra C7

anterior part of deltoid

at one finger width distal and anterior to the acromion, in the direction of the line between the acromion and the thumb

middle part of deltoid

line from the acromion to the lateral epicondyle of the elbow, at the greatest bulge of the muscle, in the direction of the line between the acromion and the hand

posterior part of deltoid

two fingerbreadths behind the angle of the acromion, in the direction of the line between the acromion and the little finger

infraspinatus

approximatively 4 cm below the spine of the scapula, over the infraspinatus fossa on the lateral aspect of the muscle, parallel to the spine of the scapula
