N/A Stroke. Intervention 1: Intervention group: Kinsiotaping We considered three times assessments to collect data: 1- initial assessment before KT, 2- secondary assessment one month after KT. After obtaining signed consent forms and initial assessment, Taping was performed by the OT. The subjects were taped in accordance with Kenzo Kase’s Kinesiotaping Manual (Kase, 2016). We use a piece of the TEM TEX brand tape that has five Centimeter width and fifteen Centimeter length. Taping was applied in the sitting position in which wrist muscles were in resting position and forearm was in natural pronated. A I- strip of tape was placed on the extensor muscles of the forearm from proximal to distal (origin of extensor muscles to distal of metacarpals) and stretched approximately to 50% of its maximum length. Tape was changed each three days or in necessary situation. Intervention 2: Control group: Occupationaltherapy without Kinsiotaping.
