Brief Summary

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

After a stroke, most patients have poor ankle control and difficulty walking. Considering that proper foot placement will provide a more balanced and controlled gait, the aim of this study was to investigate the immediate effect of non-elastic ankle taping providing eversion support on gait balance in stroke patients.

Detailed Description

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

The study included 30 stroke patients. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: intervention group(n=15) and the control group(n=15). The control group received 45 min of conventional physiotherapy. The intervention group received 45 min of conventional physiotherapy after nonelastic taping, which provides eversion support. The gait balance of both groups was evaluated using the Dynamic Gait Index before and after treatment. . Pre- and post-intervention data were statistically analyzed and compared.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Nonelastic taping

Intervention Type OTHER

Non-elastic taping was placed on the ankle of the affected side with a plaster band starting from the middle of the sole of the foot and extending from the lateral side of the foot to the level below the knee to provide eversion support.

control group

The control group received 45 min of conventional physiotherapy

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Conservative physiotherapy
