简要总结
After a stroke, most patients have poor ankle control and difficulty walking. Considering that proper foot placement will provide a more balanced and controlled gait, the aim of this study was to investigate the immediate effect of non-elastic ankle taping providing eversion support on gait balance in stroke patients.
详细描述
The study included 30 stroke patients. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: intervention group(n=15) and the control group(n=15). The control group received 45 min of conventional physiotherapy. The intervention group received 45 min of conventional physiotherapy after nonelastic taping, which provides eversion support. The gait balance of both groups was evaluated using the Dynamic Gait Index before and after treatment. . Pre- and post-intervention data were statistically analyzed and compared.

结局指标
主要结局
Dynamic Gait Index (DGI)
时间窗: 5 months
The dynamic gait index includes 8 items: walking, walking at different speeds, crossing an obstacle, walking around an obstacle, suddenly turning 180 degrees while walking and stopping, climbing steps, walking by turning the head left and right in the horizontal plane, and walking by turning the head up and down in the vertical plane. The performance of each item was graded with 4 points. The score scale is as follows; 3 independent walking, 2 mild impairment, 1 moderate impairment and 0 severe impairment; the total score that can be obtained varies between 0-24 points. If the total score is between 22and24, it can be said that individuals have safe ambulation, 20-21 points are considered to be a harbinger of fall risk, and scores of 19 or lower have been associated with an increased incidence of falls
