简要总结
Investigators investigated that the effects of kinesilogy taping on balance in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
详细描述
Forty-five patients from Level 1 and 2 according to the Brooke Lower Extremity Functional Classification were included in the study. Balance was assessed by Pediatric Berg Balance Test (PBBT), Timed and Go Test (TUGT), and standing on one leg test. Kinesiology taping (KT) with facilitation technique was applied on bilateral quadriceps and tibialis anterior muscles and the assessments were repeated 1 hour after application. The comparison between before and after taping was analyzed.

研究组 & 干预措施
Kinesiology taping
For tibialis anterior muscle taping, each children's feet were placed at plantar flexion and eversion position while knees were extended, and I-shaped band was applied over tibialis anterior from origin to insertion of muscle with approximately 25-50% tension of the original length of the band. No tension was applied to the first and last 5 cm section of the bands in both applications because it were used as anchor. The tapes were remained for 1 hour on skin of both quadriceps and tibialis anterior muscles, and in this time the children were rested.
干预措施: Kinesiology tape (Device)
结局指标
主要结局
Balance Test-Timed up and go test
时间窗: About 15 seconds
Timed up and go test is a valid and practical objective measure for the pediatric population that measuring various components such as walking speed, postural control, functional mobility and balance. The children were asked to stand up from a chair, walk during 3 meters, turn, and walk back to chair and sit down. This time was recorded as second
次要结局
- duration in standing on one leg(about 1 minute)
- Pediatric Berg Balance Test(15 minutes)
