Brief Summary
Patients with stroke in the brain, due to central nervous system damage, lack of correct action patterns, limited joint movement of upper limbs, affecting the patient's performance. The Kinesio taping effect is to facilitate the muscle activity of upper limb. This program is intended to provide a treatment for patients with chronic stroke, and to observe their upper limb movements before and after using the Kinesio taping.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Change in Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) from pre to post-intervention.
The Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) is a stroke-specific, performance-based impairment index. It is designed to assess motor functioning, balance, sensation and joint functioning in patients with post-stroke hemiplegia.
up to 30 minutes.
Change in Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) from pre to post-intervention.
The Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) is an evaluative measure to assess specific changes in limb function among post-stroke hemiplegia.
up to 30 minutes.
Change in Box and Block Test (BBT) from pre to post-intervention.
The Box and Block Test (BBT) measures unilateral gross manual dexterity for stroke patients.
up to 30 minutes.
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Change in Motor Activity Log (MAL) from pre to post-intervention.
up to 20 minutes.
Study Arms (1)
KT group
EXPERIMENTALThe paretic upper limb is a common consequence of stroke that increases activity limitation.
Interventions
In KT group, KT was applied using the insertion-origin muscle and space-correction technique of affected upper limb with stroke patients.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Post-stroke hemiplegia, at least 6 months since onset
- Ability to communicate and understand instructions.
You may not qualify if:
- Skin problems, wounds, or infection on the affected upper limb.
- The experience of using the Kinesio taping.
- A history of allergy tothe Kinesio taping.
