Taping with physical therapy for arm function after stroke
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding kinesio-taping to standard physical therapy helps improve arm movement and reduce stiffness in people recovering from a recent stroke.

This study tests whether a special type of tape (kinesio taping) placed on your back can help improve your balance and trunk control after a stroke. If you are at least one month past your stroke and have ongoing balance or trunk problems, you may be able to join.
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 trial tests whether a special tape placed on the muscles under your chin can help you swallow more safely after a stroke. If you have swallowing problems after a stroke, this treatment may improve your safety while eating or drinking.
This study tests whether a special tape placed on the forearm can help reduce pain and improve how your arm works after exercise. It is for healthy, active young adults aged 18–30.
This pilot study tests whether a combination of brain stimulation (TMS) and physical therapy can help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke at least one year ago. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients regain better control and strength in their affected arm.
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.
