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

Detailed Description

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

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the immediate effect of kinesiological and / or sham taping to the tibialis anterior muscle on walking parameters in stroke individuals.

Methods: The study included 28 adults stroke patients . The subjects who received scores of 7 or more in the Hodkinson Mental Test and 3 and above in the Functional Ambulation Classification with subjects who gastrocnemius muscle spasticity 2 and below points according to Modified Ashworth Scale were included in the study. The walking parameters of the participants were evaluated with the BTS G-Walk Spatio-Temporal Walking Analysis System. The walking parameters of the participants who were selected by randomization method were evaluated separately by applying kinesiological taping and sham taping or without any taping or interference on a 10 meter track.
