“…For example, gross motor function and excessive rounding of the spine (kyphosis) in children with CP can, according to a recent study [ 102 ], be significantly improved with kinesio-taping and neuromuscular electrical stimulation, in addition to the conventional rehabilitation. However, there is a lack of highly methodological studies about the efficacy of the method in children with CP, so randomized control trials with well-established protocols are needed to increase the confidence in the application of kinesio-taping in this context [ 103 , 104 , 105 ].…”

The purpose of this work is to study the gap between the research evidence and the clinical practice in the physical rehabilitation of people with cerebral palsy. A review process was performed to (1) identify physical therapies to improve postural control in children with cerebral palsy and (2) determine the scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of those therapies. A Likert-based survey addressing a total of 43 healthcare professionals involved in pediatric physical therapy departments in Spain was carried out. The discussion was mainly supported by studies of level I or II evidence (according to the Oxford scale). The search process yielded 50 studies reporting 16 therapies. A strong positive correlation between the most used treatments and elevated levels of satisfaction was found. Some well-known but not often used techniques, such as hippotherapy, were identified. The treatment with the highest degree of use and satisfaction—neurodevelopment therapy (Bobath)—and some emerging techniques, such as virtual reality, were also identified. The fact that there is a meaningful gap between clinical practice and the scientific evidence was confirmed. The identified gap brings a certain degree of controversy. While some classic and well-known therapies had poor levels of supporting evidence, other relatively new approaches showed promising results.

“…Taping memiliki manfaat dalam membantu kinerja otot pada saat beraktivitas, menurunkan intensitas nyeri, mengurangi bengkak, dan menurunkan spasme. Aplikasi taping juga dapat meningkatkan fungsi otot sehingga pola gerakan fungsional dapat dilakukan dengan baik (Iosa et al, 2010;Keklicek et al, 2015;Sousa Junior et al, 2017).…”

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a collection of motor disorders caused by brain damage that occur before, during or after birth which can be caused by many factors such as, congenital, genetic, inflation, infection and poisoning during pregnancy, trauma and metabolic disorders. Children with cerebral palsy will mostly have problems with posture. Muscular spasticity found in CP children is not only found in the muscles of the limbs but also the muscles forming posture (body posture), the condition of the body shape of children with CP will be exacerbated by the omission of postures that are not functional. Taping provides convenience in initiating motion, to help people with CP be able to move easily. The objectives of this study is to determine the effect of giving correction posture taping to the ability of motion of cerebral palsy children. Methods: The design in this study is a quasi experiment with a pretest and posttest design. The research will be conducted on the CP community in Yogyakarta, namely the Wahana Cerebral Palsy Family (WKCP) for 8 weeks. The research instrument used in this study was a blank check on the basic functional ability of GMFM. Results: After getting treatment in the form of Correction Posture Taping for 8 consecutive weeks, there was an increase in the functional ability of motion during sleep by 5.1385 with P = 0.000 (α <0.05), when seated by 1.0254 with P = 0.000 (α<0.05), when crawling by 0.44 with P = 0.000 (α <0.05), when standing and walking by 0.6523 with P= 0.000 (α <0.05), when crawling by 0.32 with P = 0.000 (α <0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results of research and the results of data processing, there is the effect of posture taping correction on the functional ability of children with cerebral palsy.

“…Increased spontaneity in the use of the affected limb suggests that this type of intervention promotes motivation and perception of the possibilities of using the affected limb when performing daily tasks, which reduces learned disuse (14,23,25) . In addition, it is recently used as an adjunct to a therapeutic program in the treatment of neurofunctional diseases, the functional bandage (FB) (26)(27)(28)(29)(30) , restricting abnormal posture and decreasing spasticity in children with CP (26,31,32) . Thus, in order to obtain a better use of voluntary coordination and manual control, the objective of this study was to identify the effect of ICT associated with the application of FB in the most affected upper limb (UL), according to manual functionality, of a child with spastic hemiparetic CP.…”

Background: The decrease in the manual activity of hemiparetic children, affects their functionality and independence. Among the therapies used to improve manual function, there is Induced Contention Therapy (ICT) and functional bandaging (FB). Such approaches aim to improve the use and decrease the disuse learned from the upper limb in subjects with hemiparesis. Objective: Identify the effect of ICT, associated with the application of functional bandaging on the affected upper limb, in the function of the upper limb and on the handgrip of a child with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Methods: A 5-year-old child received ICT for three hours daily for three consecutive weeks associated with FB in the right upper limb. The use of the upper limb was evaluated using the Pediatric Upper Extremity Motor Activity Log (PMAL) scale, the acquisition of new motor standards using the Inventory of New Motor Activities and Program (INMAP) scale, the motor skill by the Pediatric Arm Functional Test (PAFT) and the handgrip strength by the dynamometer. Results: There was an improvement in the quantity and quality of use of the paretic upper limb after the application of ICT, which remained after one month of therapy. In addition, it was observed the acquisition of new motor skills and improvement in handgrip strength. Conclusion: This study had a potential positive effect on handgrip strength, functionality and quality of use of the paretic upper limb of a child with spastic CP after the application of ICT associated with functional bandaging.
