The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of ankle taping on the sole of the foot loading during sit-to-stand in chronic stroke patients
Design
This clinical trial is single group design, and a convenience and an available sampling will be used in this study. Also, twenty chronic stroke patients will participate in this study.
Settings and conduct
This study will be performed at the Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Research Center. Subjects will stand from sitting positions with different foot positions (1.The affected leg will place behind the unaffected leg. 2. The unaffected leg will place behind the affected leg. 3. both legs place symmetrically.) with and without ankle taping randomly. Ground reaction forces in all direction will be measured by force plate.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Stroke patients should be in the chronic stage and the spasticity score of plantarflexor muscles should be smaller than 3 in the modified Ashworth scale.
Exclusion criteria: Medical condition (apart from stroke) that impair patients balance
Intervention groups
Intervention group: Ankle taping on the paretic side is intervention in this study. Kinesio tape (KT) is a thin, highly elastic material which may be used as a modality to correct joint position, increase proprioception, and increase or inhibit muscle recruitment. The KT will be used once in the affected ankle.
