Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common movement disorder in children that is associated with life-long disability and multiple impairments. The clinical manifestations of CP vary among children. CP is accompanied by a wide range of problems and has a broad spectrum. Children with CP demonstrate poor fine and dross motor function due to psychomotor disturbances. Early rehabilitation programs are essential for children with CP and should be appropriate for the age and functional condition of the patients. Kinesio taping (KT) technique is a relatively new technique applied in rehabilitation programs of CP. This article reviews the effects of KT techniques on improving motor skills in children with CP. In this study, we used keywords "cerebral palsy, Kinesio Tape, KT and Taping" in the national and international electronic databases between 1999 and 2016. Out of the 43 articles obtained, 21 studies met the inclusion criteria. There are several different applications about KT technique in children with CP. Review of the literature demonstrated that the impact of this technique on gross and fine motor function and dynamic activities is more effective than postural and static activities. Also this technique has more effectiveness in the child at higher developmental and motor stages. The majority of consistent findings showed that KT technique as part of a multimodal therapy program can be effective in the rehabilitation of children with CP to improve motor function and dynamic activities especially in higher developmental and motor stages.
脑瘫（CP）是儿童中最常见的运动障碍，与终身残疾和多种损伤相关。脑瘫患儿的临床表现各不相同。脑瘫伴有广泛的问题，范围很广。由于精神运动障碍，脑瘫患儿表现出精细和粗大运动功能较差。早期康复计划对脑瘫患儿至关重要，且应适合患者的年龄和功能状况。肌内效贴扎（KT）技术是应用于脑瘫康复计划中的一种相对较新的技术。本文综述了KT技术对改善脑瘫患儿运动技能的效果。在本研究中，我们于1999年至2016年间在国内和国际电子数据库中使用了关键词“脑瘫、肌内效贴布、KT和贴扎”。在所获得的43篇文章中，21项研究符合纳入标准。关于KT技术在脑瘫患儿中有几种不同的应用。文献综述表明，该技术对粗大和精细运动功能以及动态活动的影响比对姿势和静态活动更有效。而且该技术在发育和运动阶段较高的儿童中更有效。大多数一致的研究结果表明，KT技术作为多模式治疗计划的一部分，对脑瘫患儿的康复有效，可改善运动功能和动态活动，尤其是在发育和运动阶段较高时。
