yes we have tried taping the hemiplegic shoulder.
the only thing is to be done is deltoid and supraspinatus muscle should be reeducated bt the help of a tape. The taping should be of a long leverage to cover the deltoid muscle.
the pull of the tape should be in the direction of deltoid muscle that is from lateral portion of the arm right upto the shoulder joint.
