Taping for balance after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You had a stroke (either from a clot or a bleed) and it has been at least one month since the stroke.
- You have trouble with balance or controlling your trunk (the core of your body).
- You are able to follow instructions and take part in standard stroke rehabilitation activities.

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 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.
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 uses special motion-tracking tools to measure balance and trunk control in people with first-time stroke, Parkinson’s, or multiple sclerosis. It aims to understand how these conditions affect stability, which could help tailor rehabilitation.
This study compares two types of physical therapy exercises to see which one better helps stroke survivors improve trunk control, balance, and daily activities. It may be a good fit if you had an ischemic stroke and are between 6 months and 1.5 years into recovery.
