• 1 other identifier: Saman IRB00
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 24

Brief Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled is to assess the effect of kinesiotape technique upon wrist joint among the patients with chronic stroke. Patients are devided into groups, in group A kinesiotaping facilitation technique is applied on wrist extensor muscles while inhibition technique is applied on wrist flexor muscles and the result is the compared between the groups and within the group.

Conditions

Chronic Stroke

Keywords

Stroke; Manual Muscle testing; Kinesiotape; Range of Motion; Upper Extremity Functional Index; Modified Ashworth Scale

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Wrist extensors manual muscle test score

  Wrist extensors strength was measured as baseline before the start of intervention and was compared with the measurement after 6 weeks of application of kinesiotape.

  6 weeks

• Wrist ROMS through Goniometer

  Wrist ROM was measured using universal goniometer, baseline values for wrist flexion, extension, ulnar deviation and medial deviation was measured and then compared to the values measured after 6 weeks of intervention.

  6 weeks

• Spasticity through modified ashwoth scale

  Wrist spasticity was measured through modified ashworth scale before the intervention and then was compared with the values taken after 6th week

  6 weeks

• Upper extremity functional index (UEFI)

  Patient was asked to perform different activities as opening the door and combing hair, score was done according to the difficulty level faced by patients while performing the activities. Measurement was taken before first session and was compared with the values taken after 6 weeks of intervention

  6 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Group 1

EXPERIMENTAL

Hyperactive muscle correction for wrist extensors: Kinesiotape was applied to facilitate wrist extensor muscles from proximal to distal with 15-35% tension in therapeutic zone and no tension at anchor and end.

Other: Kinesiotaping for wrist extensor muscles

Group 2

EXPERIMENTAL

Hypoactive muscle correction for wrist flexors: Wrist flexors muscles were inhibited by applying tape from distal to proximal with 15-25% tension in therapeutic zone and no tension at anchor and end.

Other: Kinsiotaping for wrist flexor muscles

Interventions

Kinsiotaping for wrist flexor muscles OTHER

The flexor muscles of the wrist area will be targeted.

Group 2

Kinesiotaping for wrist extensor muscles OTHER

The extensor muscles of the wrist area will be targeted.

Group 1
