Taping and exercise for hand function after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests two rehabilitation methods - special exercise (PNF) and elastic taping - to see which one helps improve hand function in people who have weakness on one side of the body after a stroke. The goal is to find a better way to regain hand movement and daily use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Had a stroke (confirmed by MRI or CT scan) between 6 and 24 months ago
- Weakness only on one side of the body caused by the stroke
- Able to follow instructions and cooperate with tests (must score 24 or higher on a mental exam, or 18 if unable to read/write)
- Speak and understand Turkish
- Your hand and arm have reached at least a moderate stage of recovery (stage 4 on a standard scale)
- Age 18 or older, and willing to take part

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 a combination of brain stimulation and structured hand practice can improve hand movement for people recovering from stroke. It may help because the training targets upper-limb function while using therapy intended to support recovery.
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 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.
This study tests a therapy program done at home using video calls to help improve hand function after a stroke. It may help you regain better use of your hand if you had a stroke at least 6 months ago.
This trial tests a hand training system that may help improve hand and arm movement after a stroke. If you have had a stroke and have trouble using your hand, this study might be able to help you regain some function.
