| Objective: To observe the immediate effect of foot function correction taping in improving walking function in patients with foot drop after stroke. Methods: Sixty stroke patients with foot drop were selected and randomly assigned to Kinesio taping group (KT), placebo taping group (PT) and Zero taping group (ZT) with 20 patients in each group. Functional correction taping was applied in KT group. The taping with same brand, size, as well as color was applied in PT group. No taping was applied in ZT group. Patients in KT and PT groups were evaluated before and after taping, and patients in ZT group were evaluated twice at 20 min intervals. Ten meter walking test (10MWT), timed up and go test (TUGT), and Berg balance scale (BBS) were used to evaluate the immediate effects of taping in improving the walking performance. Results: After the function correction taping in three groups, the time for 10MWT and TUGT in KT group was significantly shortened as compare with that in PT and ZT groups (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the PT group and ZT group before and after treatment. There was no significant difference in BBS scores among the three groups. Conclusion: Function correction technique of Kinesio Taping has an immediate effect on the improvement of walking function in stroke patients with foot drop, while further researches on the balance and long-term efficiency are needed. |
