Abstract
Abstract Aims The present review was aimed to indicate the existing effectiveness of kinesio taping (KT) use in stroke patients with shoulder symptoms. Methods The literature search was carried out in PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science (WoS) databases. The quality assessment was accomplished using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. A narrative synthesis was conducted to present the results. Results Thirteen studies were included in the study. The contribution of the KT to internal and external range of motion (ROM), specifically flexion and abduction, was emphasized. KT’s additional advantages to reducing pain, spasticity, and increasing motor function (including electromyography findings) were highlighted. Function scores and stroke staging of the individuals were improved with reducing the severity of the subluxation and a more stable shoulder joint. Conclusion The present systematic review reported the positive effects of KT on shoulder pain, spasticity, passive-ROM, active-ROM, and motor function in individuals with stroke.
期刊介绍:
This comprehensive journal is recognized for its useful balance of research and clinical practice articles. For more than twenty five years Physical & Occupational Therapy in Geriatrics has functioned as a forum for allied health professionals as well as others with a focus on rehabilitation of the geriatric client to share information, clinical experience, research, and therapeutic practice. Each issue focuses on current practice and emerging issues in the care of the older client, including rehabilitation and long-term care in institutional and community settings, and innovative programming; the entire range of problems experienced by the elderly; and the current skills needed for working with older clients.
