The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of extensor digitorum longus taping (EDLT) and tibialis anterior taping (TAT) on balance and gait performance in patients post-stroke. The study included 40 stroke patients randomly assigned to two intervention groups: the EDLT group and the TAT group. Therapeutic taping was applied to the extensor digitorum in the EDLT group and applied to the tibialis anterior in the TAT group. Balance variables were measured using BioRescue equipment, and gait variables were measured using G-walk equipment. Balance and gait variables were significantly increased in both the EDLT and TAT groups after the intervention, but there were no significant differences between the two groups. Therefore, we concluded that eversion (EDLT) or inversion (TAT) through taping did not affect the outcome. Only dorsiflexion affects gait speed increase post-stroke. As a result of this study, extensor digitorum longus taping and tibialis anterior taping were taping methods with no difference in the improvement of balance ability and gait performance.
本研究旨在探讨趾长伸肌贴扎（EDLT）和胫骨前肌贴扎（TAT）对中风后患者平衡和步态表现的影响。该研究纳入了40名中风患者，随机分为两个干预组：EDLT组和TAT组。EDLT组对趾长伸肌进行治疗性贴扎，TAT组对胫骨前肌进行治疗性贴扎。使用BioRescue设备测量平衡变量，使用G-walk设备测量步态变量。干预后，EDLT组和TAT组的平衡和步态变量均显著增加，但两组之间无显著差异。因此，我们得出结论，通过贴扎进行外翻（EDLT）或内翻（TAT）不会影响结果。只有背屈会影响中风后步态速度的增加。作为本研究的结果，趾长伸肌贴扎和胫骨前肌贴扎在改善平衡能力和步态表现方面没有差异。
