Brief Summary

The effect of kinesiological taping applied to the tibialis anterior muscle on gait parameter in stroke patients: Sham controlled study

Conditions

Stroke

Keywords

Stroke; Kinesiological Taping; Walking; Tibialis Anterior

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• non-taping walking parameter measurement

  The dominant side lower extremity of the participants was determined as the first preferred lower limb to take steps when walking. Walking parameters of the participants included in the study were evaluated with BTS G-Walk Spatio-Temporal Gait Analysis System. Before the banding applications of the patients, walking parameters were measured by asking them to walk with a shoe that they always use daily with the command "walk normally" on a 10-meter course, and stop with the command "stop" after 10 meters.

  2 hours

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• With kinesiological taping walking parameter measurement

  2 hours

• With sham taping walking parameter measurement

  2 hours

Study Arms (3)

No tape applied

NO INTERVENTION

Walking parameters were evaluated without any intervention.

Kinesiological Tape

EXPERIMENTAL

Walking parameters were evaluated after kinesiological taping on the tibialis anterior muscle

Other: kinesiological taping

Sham taping

SHAM COMPARATOR

Walking parameters were evaluated after sham taping on the tibialis anterior muscle

Other: kinesiological taping

Interventions

kinesiological taping OTHER

The kinesiological banding applied to the tibialis anterior muscle was applied to improve walking parameters and compared to sham control.

Kinesiological Tape; Sham taping
