Case report shows improved arm function and pain relief in a stroke patient receiving Kinesio Taping, suggesting its value as an adjunct therapy.
Kinesio Taping (KT) method is a potential alternative to enhance treatment outcomes for stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain. A 69-year-old man with a hemorrhagic stroke was presented in this case report to explore the effect of KT method in optimizing functional outcome of hemiplegic upper limb in stroke patients. Seven days of KT method as an adjunct to conventional OT training was provided and results showed clinically significant improvement in ADL function and hemiplegic upper limb function. KT method has been shown to be effective in alleviating pain and increasing passive range of motion. Yet, further studies of a larger scale would warrant its treatment effectiveness in the stroke population.
