简要总结
Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) present limited performance of functional activities and activities of daily life. Kinesio taping has been definied as a promising technique for children with CP ans has been extensively used in clinical practice. However, several studies have found a low level of evidence of its effectiveness in healthy individuals. We aim to evaluate the effects of the immediate application of Kinesio taping on the activation of the rectus femoris and anterior tibialis muscles and on the duration of sit-to-stand movement in children with CP.

结局指标
主要结局
Muscle activity
时间窗: on the day of evaluation
An electromyography analysis was performed to evaluate the rectus femoris and tibialis anterior activity during the sit-to-stand movement and the five time sit-to-stand test. Electrodes were placed in both lower limbs. Mean root mean square (mRMS) values were used for statistical analysis. Mean root mean square values were normalized by the maximum value of each trial and individual.
Time to perform sit to stand
时间窗: on the day of evaluation
Children were seated with hip, knee and ankle flexed at 90°. Both feet were symmetrically positioned shoulder width apart and arms were crossed over the chest. Children should get up from the seat after the verbal command of the evaluator. Children performed the sit-to-stand movement at a speed that simulated the one usually adopted in daily routine
Time to perform five time sit-to-stand test
时间窗: on the day of evaluation
Children had to get up and sit down five times as fast as possible. The instructions before starting the test were: "Stand up and sit down as quickly as possible for 5 times. The test will be finished when you return to the seated position the 5th time. Continue the sit-to-stand movement until I ask you to stop. If you try but cannot stand up, just let me know. Ready? go!"
