Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

BACKROUNDS: Thumb in palm deformity restricts hand function by prevent somatosensory input in the children with cerebral palsy who have spasticity in their hands.

OBJECTİVES: To investigate the effects of thenar palmar kinesiotape application with and without pressure on hand function in children with cerebral palsy. METHOD: 45 children were randomly allocated to one of the thenar taping groups either with or without pressure or to the control group. Nine hole peg test and nine parts puzzle test were used to measure hand function. The two study groups were evaluated initially, with taping 20 minutes later and 20 minutes after taping was removed.

BACKROUNDS: Thumb in palm deformity restricts hand function by prevent somatosensory input in the children with cerebral palsy who have spasticity in their hands.

OBJECTİVES: To investigate the effects of thenar palmar kinesiotape application with and without pressure on upper extremity function in children with cerebral palsy. METHOD: 45 children were randomly allocated to one of the thenar taping groups either with or without pressure or to the control group. Nine hole peg test and nine parts puzzle test were used to measure upper extremity function. The two study groups were evaluated initially, with taping 20 minutes later and 20 minutes after taping was removed.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

kinesiotape plus thenar pressure (PPTG)

In the kinesiotape plus thenar pressure (PPTG). Kinesiotape was applied which controled the cortical thumb sign. In addition a piece of plastazote aiming to give thenar pressure was also applied.

The amount of pressure was regulated so that the child felt the pressure without being irritated and without restriction in grasping functions.
