    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of the kinesio tape application to the tibialis anterior on rehabilitation outcomes of the stroke patients. DESIGN AND SETTING: Twenty patients with stroke were allocated into two groups: the first group of ten patients was assigned to receive kinesio tape in addition to the conventional rehabilitation program while a second group of 10 patients was assigned to receive a conventional rehabilitation program only. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The clinical variables and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were evaluated at baseline and at the end of the forth week. RESULTS: The present study showed that kinesio tape application to the tibialis anterior has significant effects on motor recovery of the lower extremity, spasticity, ambulation capacity, HRQoL and gait compared to the control group and baseline. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that kinesio tape can be used as an ankle training method.
