Effectiveness of neuromuscular taping on upper limb functionality and pain in elderly patients pos stroke

Abstract

This study aimed at verifying the use of the taping technique for upper limb function gain and pain reduction in elderly patients after stroke. Participants received neuromuscular taping on the deltoid muscle. There was no evidence of a significant improvement regarding functionality gain or pain reduction. The neuromuscular taping was not effective in improving the function and reducing pain in chronic pos stroke survivors after five weeks treatment.
