Kinesio tape for early arm movement after stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special tape (kinesio tape) applied to the arm can help people start using their weak arm earlier after a stroke. It is for people who have very limited movement in their arm due to a first-time stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a stroke survivor
- This must be your first stroke
- Your arm and hand have very limited movement (Brunnstrom stage under 3)
- You do not have any major heart or brain conditions besides the stroke
- You do not have skin allergies or increased muscle tightness in your affected arm
