“…It remains a difficult problem to improve gait ability in the legs of patients with hemiplegia in rehabilitation therapy ( Park and Lee, 2016 ). Furthermore, an objective and quantitative evaluation of the rehabilitation effect is also the trend and requirement of precision rehabilitation therapy ( Babyar et al, 2014 ; Wonsetler and Bowden, 2017 ; Lerma Castaño et al, 2020 ). However, most studies use scales and experimental tests, such as the modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QLS), and the 10-m walk test (10 MWT); these assessments can be affected by subjective factors ( Mohan et al, 2021 ).…”

Background: The application of Kinesio Taping (KT) on the lower extremity of stroke patients can improve the quality of somatosensory information by activating lower extremity muscles involved in postural control. Gait analysis and surface electromyography (SEMG) are valuable in assessing the motor ability of the lower extremities.Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of KT therapy on gait and SEMG in stroke patients with hemiplegia.Methods: Twenty-one stroke patients were included in the study. KT was applied to the lower extremities of the hemiplegic side. Quantitative gait parameters were measured by a gait analysis system (IDEEA, by MiniSun, United States) and activation of the lower extremity muscles were evaluated by the SEMG (Trigno™ Wireless Systems, Delsys Inc., United States) before and after taping. Step length, stride length, pulling acceleration, swing power, ground impact, and energy expenditure were used to evaluate when patients walk as usual. SEMG signals were collected from the anterior bilateral tibialis (TA) and the lateral gastrocnemius (LG). The root mean square (RMS) value was used to assess muscle activity. SEMG signals were examined before and after KT treatment in three different locomotor conditions of the patients: walking at a natural speed, walking with a weight of 5 kg, dual-tasking walking (walking + calculation task) while carrying a weight of 5 kg. The calculation task was to ask the patients to calculate the result of subtracting 7 from 100 and continuing to subtract 7 from the resulting numbers. Comparisons between two normally distributed samples (before and after KT treatment) were evaluated using the two-tailed, paired Student’s t-test.Results: Stride length (0.89 ± 0.19 vs. 0.96 ± 0.23; p = 0.029), pulling acceleration (0.40 ± 0.21 vs. 1.11 ± 0.74; p = 0.005), and swing power (0.42 ± 0.24 vs. 1.14 ± 0.72; p = 0.004) improved in the hemiplegia side after KT treatment. The RMS value of TA SEMG signals in the limbs on the hemiplegia side decreased after KT treatment during dual-tasking walking carrying a weight of 5 kg (3.65 ± 1.31 vs. 2.93 ± 0.95; p = 0.030).Conclusion: KT treatment is effective in altering gait and SEMG characteristics in stroke patients with hemiplegia.

“…The exercises take about 30–45 min each session. Patients will do exercises daily at home with the help of another person if necessary, and once a week in the clinic after DN under the supervision of the physiotherapist ( Appendix 1 ) [ [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] ].…”
