Abstract

Purpose : Elastic taping is a therapeutic method used in the treatment of various musculoskeletal and neuromuscular deficits, but there is limited evidence of the effects of ankle Elastic taping in neurologic patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of elastic taping on gait in the affected ankle area of chronic stroke patients.
Methods : Subjects were randomized to receive 30 chronic stroke patients who were 6 months old from the date of onset according to screening criteria. Experimental group showed ankle taping and control group had ankle muscle taping. The temporal and spatial gait were measured before taping application and after 30 minutes taping application.
Result : The temporal and spatial gait was measured using GaitRite. In experimental group, there was a significant difference between before and after application of taping (p <.05). In control group, there was no significant difference between before and after application of taping (p>.05). There was a significant difference in experimental group between experimental group and control group (p<.05).
Conclusion : These results suggest that intervention using elastic taping may have a positive effect on rehabilitation diversity and function in stroke patients. Based on this, it is thought that it can be used for the rehabilitation of the stroke patients, and various studies on the application method and the effect of the application site and the application time should be continued in the stroke patients.
