简要总结
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.
详细描述
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.

- Double (Participant, Outcomes Assessor)
盲法说明
Both group will receive conventional stroke rehabilitation. Intervention group will receive Kinesio taping and control group would not receive a sham taping due to the possible sensory intervention of sham taping even though applying it without any stretch.
Outcomes will be recorded by physical therapist using SPSS and groups would not be specified with letter. Statistical analysis will be conducted by another researcher who does not aware of groups given numbers on SPSS.

结局指标
主要结局
Balance evaluation systems test (BESTest)-Change from Baseline
时间窗: two weeks
BESTest contains 27 question under 6 subsections (biomechanical, stability limits, postural responses, anticipatory postural adjustments, sensory orientation, and dynamic balance during gait) all of which rates between 0 (unable) - 3 (normal function) points (22) was used to assess the dynamic and static balance during the activities. TUG was used to assess balance, mobility and walking ability of the patients before and after the procedure as a part of the BESTest. However, as a strong indicator of functional mobility we decided to analyze TUG results separately from the overall BESTest outcomes. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, after first application,one week later and 2 weeks later prior to first assessment.
