Kinesiotaping on HP Patients Pulmonary Parameters
Effects of Thoracic Kinesio Taping on Pulmonary Functions, Respiratory Muscle Strength and Functional Capacity in Patients With Hemiplegia
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 25 Jul 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The aim of this study is to investigate whether thoracic kinesio taping contributes to the improvement of pulmonary function, the strengthening of respiratory muscles and the enhancement of overall physical ability in stroke patients with hemiplegia. To assess this, a randomized controlled trial will be conducted involving 30 patients aged between 45 and 80 years who have been diagnosed with hemiplegia resulting from a stroke. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: the Kinesio Taping Group (KTG) or the Sham Kinesio Taping Group (SKTG). The duration of the intervention will be four weeks. During this period, individuals in the KTG will receive thoracic kinesio taping in addition to standard rehabilitation care. In the SKTG, taping will be applied to the same thoracic area but without tension. Measurements will be obtained both before and after the intervention. These assessments will include pulmonary function tests (such as forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume), evaluations of respiratory muscle strength (specifically maximum inspiratory pressure), and assessments of functional capacity.
