Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Impaired upper limb function in stroke survivors is characterized by muscle weakness, increased muscle tone, contracture, or impaired motor control.
UNASSIGNED: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Kinesio-taping application for functional recovery on the affected arm and forearm during rehabilitation.
UNASSIGNED: Forty-one patients eligible for this study were randomly assigned to either the Kinesio-taping group (n = 21), receiving Kinesio-taping intervention and conventional therapy, or control group (n = 20), receiving sham Kinesio-taping intervention and conventional therapy. The whole intervention lasted for 3 weeks. Fugl-Meyer assessment of the upper extremity, Barthel Index, the Stroke Impact Scale, and modified Ashworth scale were measured at 3 time points: baseline, post-treatment (3rd week), and follow-up (6th week).
UNASSIGNED: In the Kinesio-taping group, there were significant differences in the upper extremity (p = 0.003), wrist (p = 0.000) and hand (p = 0.000) parts of the Fugl-Meyer assessment of the upper extremity between the three assessment times. On the other hand, the Barthel Index showed significant differences in both groups after therapy.
UNASSIGNED: Combining conventional rehabilitation with Kinesio-taping intervention may improve functional motor performance of both the proximal and distal parts of the affected upper extremity in stroke survivors, with potential benefits for activity of daily living.

摘要：
■中风幸存者的上肢功能受损的特征是肌肉无力，肌肉张力增加，挛缩,或受损的电机控制。
■我们旨在评估Kinesio-taping应用于康复过程中受影响的手臂和前臂功能恢复的有效性。
■符合本研究条件的41名患者被随机分配到Kinesio-taping组（n=21），接受Kinesio-taping干预和常规治疗，或对照组（n=20），接受假Kinesio-taping干预和常规治疗。整个干预持续3周。Fugl-Meyer上肢评估,BarthelIndex,中风影响量表，和改良的Ashworth量表在3个时间点测量：基线，治疗后（第3周），随访（第6周）。
■在Kinesio录音组中，上肢有显著差异（p=0.003），手腕(p=0.000)和手(p=0.000)部位的Fugl-Meyer评估上肢的三个评估时间之间。另一方面,Barthel指数显示两组治疗后存在显著差异.
■将常规康复与Kinesio-taping干预相结合，可以改善中风幸存者受影响上肢近端和远端的功能运动表现，对日常生活活动有潜在的好处。
