Summary

A majority of people undergoing rehabilitation following a stroke have a deficit of the dorsal flexors of the foot. The implementation of rehabilitation techniques in accordance with the recommendations of learned societies is not sufficient to compensate for this deficit. Also Kinesio Taping's method of Dr. Kenzo Kase has caught our attention by its action on muscle, joint, circulatory and pain functions. The use of taping would increase the duration of stimulation of the muscles of the dorsiflexors of the foot which would facilitate the motor recovery. Data from the literature do not support the conclusion that taping is effective, but no studies evaluating the efficacy of this technique in the foot-lift deficiency of the hemiplegic patient have been found. The investigators hypothesize that the use of taping in conjunction with common rehabilitation for hemiplegic patients following a stroke improves the stimulation of the muscles of the dorsiflexors of the foot with a positive impact on the walking.
