To investigate the immediate effects of Kinesio Taping® (KT) on sit-to-stand (STS) movement, balance and dynamic postural control in children with cerebral palsy (CP).
Four children diagnosed with left hemiplegic CP level I by the Gross Motor Function Classification System were evaluated under conditions without taping as control condition (CC); and with KT as kinesio condition. A motion analysis system was used to measure total duration of STS movement and angular movements of each joint. Clinical instruments such as Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) and Timed up and Go (TUG) were also applied.
Compared to CC, decreased total duration of STS, lower peak ankle flexion, higher knee extension at the end of STS, and decreased total time in TUG; but no differences were obtained on PBS score in KT.
Neuromuscular taping seems to be beneficial on dynamic activities, but not have the same performance in predominantly static activities studied.
探讨肌内效贴布（KT）对脑瘫（CP）患儿从坐到站（STS）动作、平衡及动态姿势控制的即时影响。
选取4名根据粗大运动功能分类系统诊断为左侧偏瘫I级的脑瘫患儿，在不使用贴布的情况下进行评估作为对照条件（CC）；使用KT作为肌内效贴条件。采用运动分析系统测量STS动作的总时长以及每个关节的角运动。还应用了诸如儿童平衡量表（PBS）和计时起立行走测试（TUG）等临床工具。
与CC相比，STS的总时长缩短，踝关节最大背屈角度降低，STS结束时膝关节伸展角度增大，TUG总时间减少；但KT组在PBS评分上无差异。
神经肌肉贴布似乎对动态活动有益，但在所研究的主要静态活动中表现不同。
