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

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 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 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.
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 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 rehabilitation program to improve arm and hand function after a first stroke. It is designed for people who have some movement but need extra help to recover strength and control.
