“…The results presented in this study may be questionable, since there was no control group and the participants of this study were part of a standard physical therapy program; thus, it is not possible to say that the gains happened due to the application of the neuromuscular bandage or just due to the kinesiotherapy. Studies which aimed at preventing pain in the shoulders of patients in the acute stroke phase used neuromuscular bandage in the deltoid region, applying it every three (3) days with protocols ranging from two to six (2-6) weeks of intervention (Hsieh, et al, 2021); Huang, et al, 2016;Griffin, & Bernhardt, 2006;Hanger, et al, 2000;Pandian, et al, 2013). All patients of these studies, with samples ranging from 33 to 98 subjects, went through conventional therapy.…”

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.

“…In China, there are approximately 2 million new stroke patients every year, and most of them need family care due to complications. [3,4] Post-stroke spasticity (PSS) is one of the common complications and sequelae of stroke, with a prevalence ranging from 19 to 40% in different studies, but mainly occurs in the late mid-stroke period. [5,6] Spasticity is a type of upper motor neuron injury syndrome characterized by increased muscle resistance caused by external draft, which is speed- and muscle-length dependent.…”

Deep muscle stimulator in the treatment of post-stroke spasticity: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis

Background: Spasticity is one of the most common complications and sequelae of stroke, with the main clinical manifestations being increased muscle tension, pain, stiffness, and other disorders. It not only increases the length of hospitalization and medical costs but also affects the quality of daily life and the stress of returning to society, increasing the burden on patients and their families. At present, 2 driver types of deep muscle stimulator (DMS) have been used in the clinical treatment of post-stroke spasticity (PSS) with good clinical results, but there is no evidence of clinical efficacy and safety. Therefore, this study aims to integrate direct and indirect comparative clinical evidence through a systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA). According to the data, different driver types for DMS with the same body of evidence will be collected, analyzed, and sequenced in a quantitative and comprehensive manner and then screened for the optimal driver type of DMS device for PSS treatment. The study also aims to provide reference value and an evidence-based theoretical basis for the clinical optimization of DMS equipment selection. Methods: A comprehensive retrieval of China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese scientific journal database, China biological feature database, Wanfang Chinese databases and the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase foreign databases will be conducted. Randomized controlled trials of these 2 driver types of DMS devices combined with conventional rehabilitation training of PSS will be searched and published. The retrieval time is from the establishment of the database to December 20, 2022. The 2 first authors will screen references that meet the inclusion criteria, independently extract data according to predesigned rules, and assess the quality of the included studies and the risk of bias according to the Cochrane 5.1 Handbook criteria. R programming and Aggregate Data Drug Information System software will be used to perform a combined NMA of the data and to evaluate the probability of ranking for all interventions. Results: The NMA and probability ranking will determine the best driver type of DMS device for PSS. Conclusion: This study will offer a comprehensive evidence-based approach to DMS therapy and assist doctors, PSS patients, and decision-makers in selecting a more efficient, secure, and cost-effective treatment option.

“…KT has been proposed to enrich sensory inputs, decrease spasticity by proprioception feedback, and relieve abnormal muscle tension [ 13 ]. In addition to rehabilitation, KT can provide more positive effects both on PSS and on functional motor performance of the affected hand in patients with subacute stroke [ 11 , 12 , 14 ].…”

Objectives. This study is aimed at exploring the feasibility of sonoelastography on muscle stiffness of spastic forearm and evaluating the improvement of functional performance in patients with poststroke spasticity (PSS) after receiving kinesiotaping (KT) and rehabilitation. Methods. According to the spastic levels (using modified Ashworth scale (MAS)) of the affected upper extremity, 59 patients with stroke were allocated into two groups, group A (MAS 0–1): 31 patients (14 men and 17 women; mean age: 60 years) and group B (MAS 1+–2): 28 patients (22 men and 6 women; mean age: 51 years). The Brunnstrom motor recovery stage at the wrist/distal parts in groups A and B was stage 3/3.5 and stage 2.75/3. We evaluated the Brunnstrom stage, spastic levels by MAS and modified Tardieu scale (MTS), and Fugl-Meyer Assessment for upper extremity (FMA-UE). We also evaluated the muscle spasticity of flexor carpi radialis (FCR), flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU), and flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) muscles using sonoelastography with shear wave velocity (SWV). We applied KT for 20 patients in group B, comparing the changes in sonoelastography and functional outcomes between KT and without KT interventions. Results. Both the MAS and MTS scales were moderately correlated with the SWV in forearm muscles on hemiplegic side ( r = 0.336 – 0.554 ) After KT intervention, the SWV in FCR decreased ( p = 0.028 ). Muscle spasticity was reduced ( p < 0.01 ), and distal part of the Brunnstrom stage and FMA-UE were increased ( p = 0.045 and p = 0.001 ). In patients without KT intervention, only the MTS degree reduced ( p = 0.026 ). Conclusions. The SWV of sonoelastography could objectively assess the reduction of muscle stiffness of the affected forearms in patients with PSS after KT intervention. Advances in Knowledge. Sonoelastography could be a quantitative method to follow up for therapeutic effect of the spastic forearm.
