Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the long term effects of Kinesio taping applied on ankle and peroneal muscle in patients with stroke.

Detailed description

Stroke is a common neurological problem and is one of the major causes of disability and death (1,2). In stroke patients, the mortality rate is approximately 30%, and there is an increase in the morbidity rate after stroke occurrence. In addition, stroke is one of the main factors in increases in the burden of health care expenses during adulthood (3). There is a constant requirement for specific data about stroke rehabilitation methods for achieving evidence-based rehabilitation guidelines.To investigate the effects of repeated correction taping applied on the ankle and peroneus longus and peroneus brevis muscles on balance and gait in patients with stroke. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the long term effect of KT applied on ankle and peroneal muscle on both dynamic and static balance in patients with stroke.

Conditions

• Stroke

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Intervention	Kinesio Tape apply to peroneal muscles in supine position starting from the peroneal muscle origin with using muscle activation technique by a certified KT1 and KT2 practitioner. Then ligament technique which will go through around ankle starting from medial and lateral metatarsophalangeal joints in order to improve ankle stability. Taping will be applied one week later and two weeks later prior to first application.
OTHER	Control	Any sham taping was not applied to the control group in order to prevent the sensory stimulant effect of taping. In order to achieve patients' blinding both groups participant will sign a same consent but control group will be called for taping a month later after study data collection completed.
