Brief Summary

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

In this study, it is aimed to examine the effect of rigid taping on hyperextension control in stroke patients with knee hyperextension in the stance phase of gait.

Hypothesis Ho: Rigid taping has no effect on the control of knee hyperextension in stroke patients.

H1: Rigid taping has an effect on the control of knee hyperextension in stroke patients.
