Brief Summary

This study is planned to investigate the acute effects of trunk kinesio taping on balance and functional performance in acute stroke patients.

Conditions

Stroke, Acute; Hemiplegia; Balance; Functional Performance

Keywords

Acute stroke; Balance; Rehabilitation; Postural control

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Trunk Impairment Scale

  This scale comprises 17 items and evaluates static and dynamic sitting balance and trunk coordination. The items of the scale are scored on a 2-, 3- or 4-point ordinal scale. The total score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum 23 points, higher scores indicate better performance.

  Change of trunk impairment from baseline at the end of 48 hours of each kinesio taping intervention.

• Berg Balance Scale

  The Berg balance scale is used to objectively determine a patient's ability (or inability) to safely balance during a series of predetermined tasks. It is a 14 item list with each item consisting of a five-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating the lowest level of function and 4 the highest level of function.

  Change of balance scores from baseline at the end of 48 hours of each kinesio taping intervention.

• Five Times Sit to Stand Test

  This test reproduces the act of sitting and standing for five repetitions as rapidly as possible. The test performance was based on its duration; consequently, the shorter time taken by the patient, the better their functional condition would be.

  Change of functional performance scores from baseline at the end of 48 hours of each kinesio taping intervention.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Wii Balance Board

  Change of balance scores from baseline at the end of 48 hours of each kinesio taping intervention.

• Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke

  Change of postural ability from baseline at the end of 48 hours of each kinesio taping intervention.

• Patient Satisfaction: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  Change of patient satisfaction at the end of 48 hours of each kinesio taping application.

Study Arms (3)

Kinesio Taping on Abdominal Muscles

EXPERIMENTAL

Other: Kinesio Taping

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Interventions

Kinesio Taping OTHER

The kinesio tape is adhesive and it does not contain drug substance. After the patients were randomized to the groups, kinesio tape will be applied to the relevant region.

Kinesio Taping on Abdominal Muscles; Kinesio Taping on Back Muscles
