Brief Summary

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.

Conditions

Stroke

Keywords

Athletic Tape; Proprioception; Hemiplegia; Gait

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Balance evaluation systems test (BESTest)-Change from Baseline

  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.

  two weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Functional reach test (FRT)-Change from Baseline

  two weeks

• Tetrax balance systems-Change from Baseline

  two weeks

• Functional Independence Measure (FIM)-Change from Baseline

  two weeks

Study Arms (2)

Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Taping will be applied three times and will be reapplied one and two weeks later prior to first application for two weeks.

Other: Intervention

Control

OTHER

Control group would not receive any taping in order to prevent sham taping sensory stimulation effect.

Other: Control

Interventions

Intervention OTHER

Kinesio Tape apply to peroneal muscles in supine position starting from the peroneal muscle origin with using muscle activation technique by a certified KT1 and KT2 practitioner. Then ligament technique which will go through around ankle starting from medial and lateral metatarsophalangeal joints in order to improve ankle stability. Taping will be applied one week later and two weeks later prior to first application.

Intervention

Control OTHER

Any sham taping was not applied to the control group in order to prevent the sensory stimulant effect of taping. In order to achieve patients' blinding both groups participant will sign a same consent but control group will be called for taping a month later after study data collection completed.

Control

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: DOUBLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT, OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: 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.
• Purpose: TREATMENT
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
• PI Title: Assistant Professor

Model Details: Patients' information and contact will be obtained from neurologist and willing participant's gender, age and stroke onset data will be processed with a random number generator in order to form groups. Patients will divide into two groups as intervention and control with a normal distribution of gender, age and stroke onset.
