| Objective:To explore the application of kinesio taping in the prevention of knee extension in patients with hemiplegia after stroke. Methods:Eighty patients with hemiplegia after stroke at the early stage were divided into the control group and the treatment group by random with 40 cases in each group. Two groups of patients were treated with routine rehabilitation training. Additionally, the treatment group was given kinesio taping on the muscle group around the knee joint of the affected side to prevent the knee extension. Before and 12 weeks after treatment, knee extension rate, simple Fugl-Meyer lower limb score (FMA) and functional walking scale (FAC) score were measured and analyzed statistically. Results: After treatment for 12 weeks, knee extension rate in the treatment group and the control group was 32.5% and 57.5% respectively with the difference being statistically significant (P<0.05). The FMA and FAC scores in two groups were significantly increased after treatment as compared with those before treatment (P<0.05). After treatment for 12 weeks, knee extension rate, FMA and FAC scores in the treatment group were significantly increased as compared with the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The early application of kinesio taping can effectively prevent the occurrence of knee extension in patients with stroke and improve the function of lower limbs and walking ability. |
