Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Positive effects of kinesio taping for improving range of motion in patients with different disorders are reported in some of the studies. In the present study, kinesio taping along with physiotherapy treatment is considered an effective method for postural control improvement in diplegic cerebral palsy children.
Given the importance of motion and functional mobility in daily life, design and execution of accurate scientific interventions is necessary for health care systems economically and ethically.
Research on this field and accurate analysis of functional mobility, spasticity, and range of motion are rare. The main goal of physical therapy in the rehabilitation of cerebral palsy is to improve motor function and increase the ability to control movement. therefore, the present study aims to explore the effects of kinesio taping of lower limbs on gait and balance of children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group A
Control group.
kinesio-taping.
A therapeutic tape that's applied strategically to the body to provide support, reduce pain, swelling and improve performance. Kinesio taping will be applied on both lower limbs. Taping will be applied for 4 days, 24 hours a day, on the lower limbs, and it will be removed for only one day per week.
Group B
Experimental group.
kinesio-taping.
A therapeutic tape that's applied strategically to the body to provide support, reduce pain, swelling and improve performance. Kinesio taping will be applied on both lower limbs. Taping will be applied for 4 days, 24 hours a day, on the lower limbs, and it will be removed for only one day per week.
A designed physiotherapy program.
The designed physiotherapy program included passive stretching, weight bearing, muscle strengthening, functional exercises, neurodevelopmental treatment, splinting, balance training, and gait training. The treatment protocol will be repeated each session per weeks for twelve weeks.
