Kinesio taping is a relatively new technique, which uses in rehabilitation of neurologic diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Kinesio taping on hand grip and active range of motion of hand in children with cerebral palsy (CP).
In this experimental study with pre-test and three post-tests, 32 children with CP randomly were placed in experimental (n=17) and control group (n=15).Kinesio taping was applied on dorsum of forearm and hand. Evaluation was performed initially, two days after taping and two days after tape removal. Goniometer was used to evaluate active range of motion of wrist extension. In addition, vigorimeter was used to evaluate of grip strength.
In pre-test, there was no difference between groups but in post-tests; initially after application of taping with <0.05, two days after application of taping with <0.05 and follow-up (two days after removed taping) with <0.05 were significant differences between trial and control group.
Kinesio taping in neurorehabilitation of children with CP can be a useful option to promote power or grip strength and active range of motion of wrist and thumb.
肌内效贴扎是一种相对较新的技术，用于神经系统疾病的康复治疗。本研究旨在探讨肌内效贴扎对脑瘫（CP）患儿握力和手部主动活动范围的影响。
在这项有预测试和三次后测试的实验研究中，32名CP患儿被随机分为实验组（n = 17）和对照组（n = 15）。将肌内效贴布贴在前臂和手部的背侧。在贴扎前、贴扎后两天以及去除贴布后两天进行评估。使用量角器评估腕关节伸展的主动活动范围。此外，使用握力计评估握力。
在预测试中，两组之间没有差异，但在后续测试中，贴扎后即刻（P<0.05）、贴扎后两天（P<0.05）以及随访（去除贴布后两天）（P<0.05）时，实验组和对照组之间存在显著差异。
在CP患儿的神经康复中，肌内效贴扎可能是促进力量或握力以及腕部和拇指主动活动范围的一种有用方法。
