|
Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of kinesio taping applying to foot and ankle joints on foot pressure and gait in patients with chronic stroke.
Methods: This study was a within-subject, between-condition comparative design. We enrolled Five stroke patients with chronic stroke. Patients had Kinesio taping applied on tibialis anterior, tibialis posterior, peroneus, and foot arch. We used TPscan to measure the foot pressure and G-walk to analyze walking ability. We measured foot pressure and gait ability with and without foot and ankle taping.
Result: There was no significant difference in foot pressure between the foot and ankle joints (p> 0.05). Cadence, stride length, stance phase, and swing phase of gait pattern were not significant difference (p> 0.05). However, for cadence, stride length, there showed a large effect size and for stance phase, showed from moderate to large effect, and for swing phase, showed a small effect size.
Conclusion: The application of foot and ankle joint kinesio taping to patients with chronic stroke had no significant difference after using taping but showed from small to large effect. Therefore taping may positively influenced gait ability.
