Application of the Kinesio® Taping Method for a Child with Hypotonia: A Pilot Case Study

Abstract: Background: This study explored the application of the Kinesio® Taping (KT®) method in conjunction with traditional occupational therapy (OT) intervention for a child with hypotonia. Specifically, differences in functional hand outcomes (manual dexterity and grasp pattern) were examined between the sessions with and without the application of the KT® method. Methods: A 9-year and 5-month-old male subject, at the time of enrollment, diagnosed with hypotonia, global developmental delay, and autism spectrum diso… Show more

“…2,7 In the current literature, different results are reported on the effectiveness of the tape in studies with KT. [8][9] There are limited studies in the literature that investigated the efficacy of the KT technique on upper limb functions in children with CP. [10][11][12] This study aimed to primarily investigate the early effects, independent of exercise, of KT applied with facilitation technique (directed to muscle strengthening) to the wrist dorsi-flexor muscle group on hand functions in children with unilateral CP.…”
