The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the application of ankle kinsio taping on the postural control in 30-60 years old stroke patients.40 stroke patients divided 2 group intervention and control. Inclusions criteria for stroke patients : age range 60-30 years and at least 1 year after the stroke. We performed ankle kinesio taping (KT) for 24h. It was applied by KT expert by stretching the kinesio tape. Initially, a tape anchor is placed above the malleoli
of the affected lower extremity. This anchor is applied
securely but not tightly around the extremity. Five or
six tape straps are started from the anchor in the area
of the medial ankle. They are applied around the
bottom and up the lateral side of the foot. The ends
of the first of these straps are attached to the lateral
ankle. Subsequent straps are applied across the bottom
of the foot progressively more distally and are
attached progressively more anteriorly and medially
on the ankle.for the kinesio taping application .postural control assess by force plate before, immediately and 24 hours after of the kinesio taping application.We expect that kinesio taping improve postural control in stroke patients.

Description
In intervention group We performed ankle kinesio taping (KT) in intervention group for 24h. It was applied by KT expert by stretching the kinesio tape. Initially, a tape anchor is placed above the malleoli
of the affected lower extremity.. This anchor is applied
securely but not tightly around the extremity. Five or
six tape straps are started from the anchor in the area
of the medial ankle. They are applied around the
