and purpose: The benefits of Kinesio taping (KT) in post-stroke rehabilitation have not been determined. This study aimed to evaluate its effects on lower-extremity rehabilitation in patients after a stroke.
A literature search was performed using EBSCOhost, Embase, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), SinoMed, and Wanfang Data through June 2018. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the use of KT during lower-extremity, post-stroke rehabilitation were selected. Meta-analysis was conducted.
A total of 14 RCTs of low to moderate quality were reviewed and included 783 participants. Results indicated that KT significantly improved patients' lower extremity spasticity, motor function, balance, ambulation, gait parameters, and daily activities, with few adverse effects.
KT may have positive effects on lower-extremity, post-stroke rehabilitation. Due to the limited number and quality of the research, additional studies are needed to identify KT benefits.
肌内效贴布(KT)在脑卒中康复中的益处尚未确定。本研究旨在评估其对脑卒中后下肢康复的影响。
检索 2018 年 6 月前 EBSCOhost、Embase、物理治疗证据数据库(PEDro)、PubMed、Cochrane、Web of Science、中国国家知识基础设施(CNKI)、中国生物医学文献数据库(SinoMed)和万方数据中的相关文献,纳入 KT 应用于脑卒中后下肢康复的随机对照试验(RCT)。采用 Meta 分析进行系统评价。
共纳入 14 项低至中质量 RCT,总计 783 名患者。结果表明,KT 可显著改善患者下肢痉挛、运动功能、平衡、步行、步态参数和日常生活活动能力,且不良反应较少。
KT 可能对脑卒中后下肢康复有益。但鉴于研究数量和质量有限,尚需更多研究来明确 KT 的益处。
