Effects of Kinesio Taping of Tibialis Anterior Combined with Cognitive Dual-Task Training on Balance and Gait Ability in Post-Stroke Patients

PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of kinesio taping of tibialis anterior combined with cognitive dual-task training on balance and gait ability in post-stroke patients.METHODS: This study was a single-blinded, randomized control design.Thirty post-stroke patients were allocated randomly to two groups: 1) kinesio taping of tibialis anterior combined with cognitive dual-task training (KTCDT group, n = 15) and cognitive dual-task training (Control group, n = 15).Both groups were given training for 30 minutes, five days a week for four weeks.The Berg balance test and timed up-and-go test were used to measure the balance ability.
