Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Forty-five patients from Level 1 and 2 according to the Brooke Lower Extremity Functional Classification were included in the study. Balance was assessed by Pediatric Berg Balance Test (PBBT), Timed and Go Test (TUGT), and standing on one leg test. Kinesiology taping (KT) with facilitation technique was applied on bilateral quadriceps and tibialis anterior muscles and the assessments were repeated 1 hour after application. The comparison between before and after taping was analyzed.

Study Groups

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

Kinesiology taping

For tibialis anterior muscle taping, each children's feet were placed at plantar flexion and eversion position while knees were extended, and I-shaped band was applied over tibialis anterior from origin to insertion of muscle with approximately 25-50% tension of the original length of the band. No tension was applied to the first and last 5 cm section of the bands in both applications because it were used as anchor. The tapes were remained for 1 hour on skin of both quadriceps and tibialis anterior muscles, and in this time the children were rested.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Kinesiology tape

Intervention Type DEVICE

Kinesiology taping (KT) was developed by Kenzo Kase in the 1970s. KT has similar thickness and flexibility to the skin. These tapes are used in orthopedic and sports injuries as well as neurological and rheumatic diseases, pediatric patients, lymph edema and painful conditions. These tapes are used for correcting muscle function, increasing circulation, increasing proprioception, reducing pain, and repositioning the sublease joint according to the usage method
