■已知Kinesio胶带(KT)增强触感。在中风康复中,KT通常与常规治疗(CT)一起使用,以改善平衡恢复。
■在这项研究中,我们旨在评估足底KT增强亚急性卒中患者足底触感(PTS)和平衡能力的有效性。
■在这项随机交叉试验中,22名亚急性中风参与者被随机分配接受不录音,失足足底KT,或双侧足底KT,每个条件之间有24小时的冲洗期。所有参与者均接受30分钟的CT检查。主要结果是PTS,涉及足底表面五个区域的触觉敏感性以及与足部地面的接触区域。单腿站立(OLS)时间,功能达到测试(FRT),并采用定时上行试验(TUG)作为次要结局.
■Paretic足底KT应用导致接触面积显着增加,OLS,FRT,和TUG测试时间。特别是,与足底KT相比,双侧足底KT显示PTS的改善明显更大。此外,双侧足底KT显着改善OLS(p<0.001,η2=0.575),FRT(p<0.001,η2=781),和TUG(p<0.001,η2=0.771)倍,与麻痹性足底KT相比。
■这项研究表明,足底KT改善了中风康复中的PTS和平衡能力。研究结果表明,双侧足底KT作为CT的辅助手段可能对亚急性卒中患者的平衡恢复具有有益作用。

UNASSIGNED: Kinesio tape (KT) is known to enhance tactile sensation. In stroke rehabilitation, KT is often used alongside conventional therapy (CT) to improve balance recovery.
UNASSIGNED: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of plantar KT in enhancing plantar tactile sensation (PTS) and balance ability in subacute stroke patients.
UNASSIGNED: In this randomized crossover trial, 22 subacute stroke participants were randomly assigned to receive no taping, paretic plantar KT, or bilateral plantar KT, with a 24-h washout period between each condition. All participants underwent 30 min of CT. The primary outcome was PTS, involving tactile sensitivity in five areas on the plantar surface and the contact area with the ground of the paretic foot. The one-leg stand (OLS) time, functional reach test (FRT), and timed up-and-go test (TUG) were employed as secondary outcomes.
UNASSIGNED: Paretic plantar KT application led to significant increases in the contact area, OLS, FRT, and TUG test times. Particularly, bilateral plantar KT showed significantly greater improvement in PTS compared to paretic plantar KT. Additionally, bilateral plantar KT significantly improved OLS (p < 0.001, η2 = 0.575), FRT (p < 0.001, η2 = 781), and TUG (p < 0.001, η2 = 0.771) times compared with paretic plantar KT.
UNASSIGNED: This study demonstrated that plantar KT improved PTS and balance ability in stroke rehabilitation. The findings suggest that bilateral plantar KT as an adjunct to CT may have a beneficial effect on balance recovery in patients with subacute stroke.
