Abstract

Background: Impaired upper limb function in stroke survivors is characterized by muscle weakness, increased muscle tone, contracture, or impaired motor control.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Kinesio-taping application for functional recovery on the affected arm and forearm during rehabilitation.

Methods: Forty-one patients eligible for this study were randomly assigned to either the Kinesio-taping group (n = 21), receiving Kinesio-taping intervention and conventional therapy, or control group (n = 20), receiving sham Kinesio-taping intervention and conventional therapy. The whole intervention lasted for 3 weeks. Fugl-Meyer assessment of the upper extremity, Barthel Index, the Stroke Impact Scale, and modified Ashworth scale were measured at 3 time points: baseline, post-treatment (3rd week), and follow-up (6th week).

Results: In the Kinesio-taping group, there were significant differences in the upper extremity (p = 0.003), wrist (p = 0.000) and hand (p = 0.000) parts of the Fugl-Meyer assessment of the upper extremity between the three assessment times. On the other hand, the Barthel Index showed significant differences in both groups after therapy.

Conclusion: Combining conventional rehabilitation with Kinesio-taping intervention may improve functional motor performance of both the proximal and distal parts of the affected upper extremity in stroke survivors, with potential benefits for activity of daily living.

运动塑形对亚急性或慢性中风幸存者上肢功能和日常活动的影响:随机对照研究
背景:中风幸存者的上肢功能受损表现为肌无力、肌张力增加、挛缩或运动控制受损:中风幸存者上肢功能受损的特点是肌肉无力、肌张力增加、挛缩或运动控制受损:我们旨在评估在康复过程中应用 Kinesio-taping 对患臂和前臂功能恢复的有效性:方法:符合研究条件的 41 名患者被随机分配到 Kinesio-taping 组(21 人)(接受 Kinesio-taping 干预和常规治疗)或对照组(20 人)(接受假 Kinesio-taping 干预和常规治疗)。整个干预过程持续 3 周。在基线、治疗后(第 3 周)和随访(第 6 周)3 个时间点测量了上肢的 Fugl-Meyer 评估、巴特尔指数、卒中影响量表和改良阿什沃斯量表:结果:在 Kinesio-taping 组,上肢(p = 0.003)、腕部(p = 0.000)和手部(p = 0.000)的 Fugl-Meyer 上肢评估部分在三个评估时间点之间存在显著差异。另一方面,两组患者在治疗后的巴特尔指数均有显著差异:结论:将常规康复治疗与 Kinesio-taping 干预相结合可改善脑卒中幸存者患侧上肢近端和远端功能运动表现,对日常生活活动具有潜在益处。

期刊介绍: NeuroRehabilitation, an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal, publishes manuscripts focused on scientifically based, practical information relevant to all aspects of neurologic rehabilitation. We publish unsolicited papers detailing original work/research that covers the full life span and range of neurological disabilities including stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, neuromuscular disease and other neurological disorders. We also publish thematically organized issues that focus on specific clinical disorders, types of therapy and age groups. Proposals for thematic issues and suggestions for issue editors are welcomed.
