“…The measurement was repeated three times to obtain an average value. A 10-min rest period was provided between interventions [39]. During application, the tape applied that was not stretched for 5 cm from the initial site was then stretched to 30% for the remaining parts [40].…”

This study aimed to determine the effect of a proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) pattern Kinesio taping (KT) application on the ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (DF-ROM) and balance ability in patients with chronic stroke. This crossover study included 18 patients with stroke. The subjects were randomly assigned to three interventions: barefoot, ankle KT (A-KT), and PNF-KT. The A-KT was applied to the gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior (TA) muscles, and subtalar eversion. The PNF-KT was applied on the extensor hallucis, extensor digitorum, and TA muscles. DR-ROM was measured using the iSen™, a wearable sensor. Balance ability was assessed based on static balance, measured by the Biodex Balance System (BBS), and dynamic balance, measured by the timed up and go (TUG) test and dynamic gait index (DGI). Compared with the barefoot and A-KT interventions, PNF-KT showed significant improvements in the ankle DF-ROM and BBS scores, TUG, and DGI. PNF-KT, for functional muscle synergy, improved the ankle DF-ROM and balance ability in patients with chronic stroke. Therefore, the application of PNF-KT may be a feasible therapeutic method for improving ankle movement and balance in patients with chronic stroke. Additional research is recommended to identify the long-term effects of the PNF-KT.

“…Talus posterior gliding stimulates the afferent pathway of the mechanical receptors around the ankle joint, which enhances talocrural articulation and afferent information in the surrounding tissues [ 41 ]. Applying taping in the inferior posterior direction for talus posterior gliding increased ankle dorsiflexion in patients with limited dorsiflexion [ 42 ] and improved static balance in patients with chronic stroke [ 43 ]. The talus-stabilizing strap attached to the dorsal part of the AOW developed in this study probably functioned similarly to the taping used in previous studies [ 42 , 43 ], as inferior posterior gliding of the talus in a weight-bearing posture may assist ankle dorsiflexion.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the immediate static balance effects of bare foot, UD-Flex ankle–foot orthosis (AFO), and AFO using wire (AOW) of patients with stroke with foot drop. Seventeen patients with stroke with foot drop (8 men and 9 women) were randomized to three conditions (bare foot, UD-Flex AFO, or AOW made with a flexible material). Static balance was assessed using the Zebris (Zebris GmbH, Isny, Germany) and BioRescue (RM Ingenierie, Rodez, France) pressure platform by a single examiner, who did not design the AOW. The order of testing with the equipment was random. The center of pressure path length (mm) measured using Zebris showed significant differences among the three conditions (bare foot, 484.47 ± 208.42; UD-Flex AFO, 414.59 ± 144.43; AOW, 318.29 ± 157.60) (p < 0.05). The bare-foot condition was not significantly different from the UD-Flex AFO condition (p > 0.05), but was significantly different from the AOW condition (p < 0.05). The surface area ellipse (mm2) measured using BioRescue showed significant differences among the three conditions (bare foot, 241.35 ± 153.76; UD-Flex AFO, 277.41 ± 381.83; AOW, 68.06 ± 48.98) (p < 0.05). The bare-foot condition was not significantly different from the UD-Flex AFO condition (p > 0.05), but the AOW condition was significantly different from the bare-foot (p < 0.05) and from the UD-Flex AFO conditions (p < 0.05). We suggest using the AOW made of flexible materials and wire instead of the UD-Flex AFO to improve immediate static balance of patients with stroke with foot drop after stroke. Further studies on the effects of dynamic balance and gait are required.

“…The subject placed their foot on a chair with their ankle placed in dorsiflexion in order to apply a rigid strapping tape (width of 37mm, Mueller M tape) that does not stretch. Beginning at thelateral malleolus, the tape was wrapped in a lateral and posterior direction, was rolled up diagonally, went passed the medial malleolus, wrapped around the Achilles tendon and then wrapped around the lateral malleolus which was the starting point, resulting in the ankle being wrapped for a total of two times(Figure 1) [8].…”

“…It but also increases joint position sense and postural control ability by identifying the exact position of the ankle joint [7].The use of talus stabilization taping is an easy-to-apply, time-saving and cost-effective method for improving gait, stride length and ankle stabilization in patients with chronic stroke. Also, it has been stated to be effective in improving walking speed, stride length, and step length based on static balance ability and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test results [8].…”

Objective:The purpose of this study was to compare walking speed and balance abilities according to various taping methodsin patients with stroke. Design: Cross-sectional study Methods: Twenty patients with stroke who were hospitalized at a rehabilitation hospital were allotted to the either the talus stabilization, Kinesio or sham taping, or barefoot conditions by drawing lots. Assessment tools used were the Functional Reach Test(FRT), Timed Up and Go test(TUG), One-Legged Stance Test (OLST), and the 10-Meter Walk Test(10MWT).After each test was measured three times, the mean values of each test was used for analysis. Results: Significant results were observed with thetalus stabilization and Kinesio taping groupcompared to the barefoot and sham taping method for theFRT,TUG, the OLST, and the 10MWT(p<0.05). Also, significant differences in the resultswere seen in the OLST, TUG, and the 10MWTwith the talus taping compared to the Kinesio taping method(p<0.05). Conclusions:The use oftalus stabilization taping applied to the ankle of patients with stroke was more effective for balance and walking ability improvement than Kinesio taping through the correction of an abnormal position of the talus.It is considered that these methods of taping can be applied effectively in the clinic.
