“…The mechanical properties of muscles such as tone, elasticity, and stiffness are often affected in patients with stroke [ 1 ]. Muscle tone is considered to be fundamental in maintaining balance, posture stability, and energy efficient muscle contractions [ 2 ].…”

Introduction The reliability of using MyotonPRO to quantify muscles mechanical properties in a ward setting for the acute stroke population remains unknown. Aims To investigate the within-session relative and absolute interrater reliability of MyotonPRO. Methods Mechanical properties of biceps brachii, brachioradialis, rectus femoris, and tibialis anterior were recorded at bedside. Participants were within 1 month of the first occurrence of stroke. Relative reliability was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Absolute reliability was assessed by standard error of measurement (SEM), SEM%, smallest real difference (SRD), SRD%, and the Bland-Altman 95% limits of agreement. Results ICCs of all studied muscles ranged between 0.63 and 0.97. The SEM of all muscles ranged within 0.30–0.88 Hz for tone, 0.07–0.19 for decrement, 6.42–20.20 N/m for stiffness, and 0.04–0.07 for creep. The SRD of all muscles ranged within 0.70–2.05 Hz for tone, 0.16–0.45 for decrement, 14.98–47.15 N/m for stiffness, and 0.09–0.17 for creep. Conclusions MyotonPRO demonstrated acceptable relative and absolute reliability in a ward setting for patients with acute stroke. However, results must be interpreted with caution, due to the varying level of consistency between different muscles, as well as between different parameters within a muscle.

“…Stroke involves rapid loss of brain function resulting from a disturbance in the blood supply to the brain; it often profoundly affects upper limb stability and movement capacity. Stroke is the third leading cause of death worldwide, and it is the leading cause of severe disability in patients in the developed world 1 , 2 , 3 ) .…”

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to compare the unaffected upper extremity of patients with hemiparesis with that of healthy subjects in terms of function, pain, and tactile sense. [Subjects and Methods] Upper extremity evaluation parameters of 20 patients with hemiparesis were compared with an age-matched control group of 20 healthy subjects. A shorter version of the Disability of Arm and Shoulder Questionnaire, Upper Extremity Functional Index, and Simple Shoulder Test were used to evaluate the upper extremity functionality. The Visual Analog Scale was used to measure pain severity at rest, at night, and during activity. Tactile sensation levels were assessed by Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments at four palmar areas. [Results] A statistically significant difference was found in the upper extremity functionality between the groups. Pain severity at rest was significantly higher in the hemiparetic group. There was no significant difference in night and activity pain severities or tactile sensation levels between the groups. [Conclusion] According to our results, the unaffected side of patients with hemiparesis differs in functionality and pain at rest compared with that of healthy persons. Studies with larger sample size and various evaluation tests are needed to further investigate the unaffected side of patients with hemiparesis.

“…Some studies have applied this technique to post-stroke. Kim et al, showed that this kind of tape could be used to decrease elbow flexor tone (26). Kilbreath et al recommended that gluteal taping has an immediate effect on enhancing in the hip extension during stance phase in stroke subjects (27).…”

Context: Balance control results from multiple interactions between different systems: input from the visual, the somatosensory, and the vestibular systems are integrated and regulated by the central nervous system to ensure standing balance. One of the effective interventions is using ankle taping. The purpose of this review was to assess the effectiveness of ankle taping on balance in central nervous system diseases. Evidence Acquisition: This study is a systematic review and databases PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Ovid, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for original scientific articles that were published between January 1990 to July 2018. Studies investigating the effect of therapeutic ankle taping on balance in central nervous system diseases were included. The PEDro quality scale was used to investigate the studies included; it investigates taping, balance, central nervous system disease. Results: Seven articles were included from 256 relevant articles. There were differences among the studies in terms of methodology, design, outcomes, sample size, procedure, etc. The results showed that using lower leg taping can be effective in balance improvement. Conclusions: Using lower leg taping can be effective in balance improvement in central nervous system diseases.
