This study tests whether adding Kinesio taping (a stretchy tape placed on the skin) to standard rehabilitation can improve balance and trunk control in people who have had a stroke. It may help you feel more stable and move better during recovery.
This trial tests whether kinesiology taping (a special tape placed on the skin) combined with swallowing exercises can help people who have had a stroke and have trouble swallowing. It may improve muscle thickness and swallowing function.
This study tests whether a special tape placed on the forearm can reduce pain and improve recovery after a workout. It involves healthy young adults who exercise regularly.
This study tests a type of physical therapy called modified constraint-induced movement therapy to help improve arm and hand function in people who have had a stroke more than six months ago. You will be encouraged to use your affected arm more often while the stronger arm is gently restricted, which may help retrain your brain and improve movement.
This study tests a home-based therapy program delivered by video calls to help people recovering from a stroke improve arm function. It is designed for those with moderate arm weakness about 4 months after their stroke.
This study tests whether applying kinesio tape can help people who recently had a stroke start using their arm again. It aims to improve early arm recovery, which may help patients regain function sooner.
