Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Five Times Sit to Stand Test
Time Frame: Change of functional performance scores from baseline at the end of 48 hours of each kinesio taping intervention.
This test reproduces the act of sitting and standing for five repetitions as rapidly as possible. The test performance was based on its duration; consequently, the shorter time taken by the patient, the better their functional condition would be.
Trunk Impairment Scale
Time Frame: Change of trunk impairment from baseline at the end of 48 hours of each kinesio taping intervention.
This scale comprises 17 items and evaluates static and dynamic sitting balance and trunk coordination. The items of the scale are scored on a 2-, 3- or 4-point ordinal scale. The total score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum 23 points, higher scores indicate better performance.
Berg Balance Scale
Time Frame: Change of balance scores from baseline at the end of 48 hours of each kinesio taping intervention.
The Berg balance scale is used to objectively determine a patient's ability (or inability) to safely balance during a series of predetermined tasks. It is a 14 item list with each item consisting of a five-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating the lowest level of function and 4 the highest level of function.
Secondary Outcomes
- Wii Balance Board(Change of balance scores from baseline at the end of 48 hours of each kinesio taping intervention.)
- Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke(Change of postural ability from baseline at the end of 48 hours of each kinesio taping intervention.)
- Patient Satisfaction: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)(Change of patient satisfaction at the end of 48 hours of each kinesio taping application.)
