ICF-Based Effects of PNF and Kinesio Taping on Hand Function in Hemiplegic Stroke
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Hemiplegia, Hemiplegia Due to Stroke, Hand Functionality, Upper Extremity, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, Kinesio Taping
In brief
This clinical trial aims to compare the effects of kinesio taping and PNF on hemiplegic hand functions. In addition, the effects of these applications on body structure, activity, and participation will be examined. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do kinesio taping and PNF applications have different effects on hemiplegic hand function? Are kinesio taping and PNF applications effective in body structure, activity, and participation? The researchers will compare the advantages of kinesio taping and PNF applications over each other. Participants: Kinesio taping and/or PNF applications will be applied 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Tests will be performed on the first and last day of the study to evaluate hand functions.
