Stroke is a neurovascular lesion in the brain. Paralysis of half of the body is the
most important symptom of stroke. Impaired postural control is built by complex interactions of sensory, cognitive and motor disorders. All of these factors can predispose patients to reduce function. The aim of this study is the effect of Kinesio taping on dynamic balance and spasticity in patients with chronic stroke.
Methods: In this study, 22 patients with stroke, will be enrolled. Inclusion criteria is the right or left hemiplegia, age from 30 to 65 years and 6 months after accident. Diabetic neuropathy and all patients that use device or fracture lower extremities are excluded. All subjects will receive Kinesio taping (KT). Kinesio Tex Tape will be apply directly to the skin of gastrocnemius muscle and it uses for 1 hour. Timed up and go test (TUG) is used to assess dynamic postural control and Modified Modified Ashworth Scale (MMAS) is used to evaluate the degree of spasticity of plantar flexor muscles. All assessment do before and one hour after taping.
