Kinesio Taping Along With Functional Activation Pattern in Stroke Patients
A study testing Functional activation with kinesio tapping and Conventional physical therapy in people with Stroke, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
Trial summary
In stroke; gait deviation occurs usually due to weakness in the tibialis anterior and over activation/spasticity of planter flexors. The lack of ability to dorsiflex properly contributes to foot drop that leads to the issue in proper foot clearance. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Effect of Kinesio Taping Along With Functional Activation Pattern on Gait Parameters and Dynamic Balance in Stroke Patients
In stroke; gait deviation occurs usually due to weakness in the tibialis anterior and over activation/spasticity of planter flexors. The lack of ability to dorsiflex properly contributes to foot drop that leads to the issue in proper foot clearance. This results in decreased walking speed, decreased stance and asymmetrical step length. If these issues will be addressed through application of kinesio tape and functional activation pattern throughout the gait cycle; this may improve lower limb kinematics in terms of gait parameters and dynamic balance. Therefore, current study gives us insight to gain the combined effects of KT and functional activation patterns in chronic stroke patients.
Read the detailed description
Stroke is a cerebrovascular disease caused by ischemia or hemorrhage of the brain tissues. Chronic stroke patients usually present compensatory movement of the hip, knee and ankle instead of having normal movement. Stroke survivors face difficulty in clearing off the ground. This abnormality results from weakness of ankle dorsiflexors or excessive activity of plantar flexors. Ineffective ankle dorsiflexion may result in an abnormal gait pattern. The focus of stroke rehabilitation is largely on the recovery of impaired movements and functions as it often leads to balance impairment, impaired postural control, mobility and gait abnormalities. Various approaches have been used to improve these long-term disabilities. Two out of those are taping and functional activation. Taping is used to improve motor control, postural stability and joint alignment adjustment. This happens through facilitation of ankle dorsiflexors, whereas functional activation improves gait and balance.In chronic movement disability, deficits of foot and ankle proprioception are most highly associated with falls. The disturbance in motor function can cause muscle weakness, spasticity, and a decrease in the ability to maintain balance, as well as abnormal gait patterns. There are different imaging modalities (magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography) used for the confirm diagnosis of stroke.
In a recent study, application of Kinesio tape has been reported to improve balance ability and gait performance. It restricts the excessive movements on the joints. It also acts as a facilitator helping the weak muscle to perform movement. In our study, we will apply Kinesio tape to the Tibialis Anterior Muscle (Prime dorsiflexor) and to the gastrocnemius. KT is a thin, air permeable, water resistant and elastic adhesive tape which can be stretched to up to 120-140% of its resting length. The protective effect provided by KT is purportedly related to its ability to improve proprioception by stimulating mechanoreceptors located in muscle, tendon, joint capsule or skin.Therefore, strengthening of muscle and improvement of range of motion of the ankle are also required to improve balance and gait ability.
Activation of the tibialis anterior muscle in particular enables enough dorsiflexion to prevent the toes from dragging on the ground during the swinging phase. According to recent studies, the application of Kinesio tape can reduce the hyperactivity of the gastrocnemius and increase the activity of the tibialis anterior (TA) in the correction of foot drop (such as neutralizing the foot), and aid in the correction of equinus deformity, with a more positive effect on joint angle and walking ability in stroke patients with foot drop. Applying a Kinesio tape to the lower extremity during post-stroke rehabilitation is reported to relieve lower-extremity spasticity, improving lower-extremity motor function, improving balance, and enhance ambulation and gait parameters in patients.
This will be a randomized controlled trial and will recruit patients through convenience sampling. Diagnosed patients of Stroke will be confirmed for inclusion through Computed Tomography or Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The patients will be divided into 2 groups. Group 1 will receive conventional treatment and Group 2 will receive taping and functional activation along with Conventional Treatment. This treatment will be given for 30-40 mins for 3 days a week for 4 continuous weeks. The outcome measures will be 6 Min walk test (test- retest reliability for those require an assistive device to walk (ICC = 0.914, TUG (timed up and go) for mobility, Berg Balance Scale (for balance and fall risks), OGA (Observational Gait Analysis) for gait parameters (cadence, gait velocity, step length) before and after the interventions. The data will be analyzed using SPPS software version 25.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
6 Minute Walk Test
Use: Clinically, the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) is a known beneficial tool to evaluate walking endurance in patients with post stroke hemiparesis. It provides a criterion to judge whether people can walk independently in the community environment. In general, walking capacity after stroke influences the outcome of the 6MWT and may be potentially meaningful to demonstrate clinical benefit from training.
Measured: 4th week
Timed Up and Go
Use: to determine fall risk and measure the progress of balance, sit to stand and walking.
Measured: 4th week
Modified Ashworth Scale
Use: To assess muscle tone. It is a six point scale with scores ranging from 0 - 4, where low score represents normal muscle tone and high score represents spasticity.
Measured: 4th week
Observational Gait Scale (OGS)
OGS was reported to have very good inter-rater reliability, however only the sagittal plane (ankle/foot and knee joints) items scored maximum agreement. (19) OGS had acceptable inter rater and intra rater reliability for knee and foot position in midstance, initial foot contact and heel rise.
There were also lower intra rater reliabilities found for hindfoot position and base of support.
Measured: 4th week
Berg Balance Scale
Use: Objectively determine a patient's ability (or inability) to safely balance during a series of predetermined tasks. The Berg Balance Scale can be used to predict the degree of improvement in walking for patients with stroke.
Measured: 4th week

This results in decreased walking speed, decreased stance and asymmetrical step length. If these issues will be addressed through application of kinesio tape and functional activation pattern throughout the gait cycle; this may improve lower limb kinematics in terms of gait parameters and dynamic balance.
