dc.description.abstractPurpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of kinesio taping (KT) on gait performance and balance in children with hemiplegie cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: Nineteen ambulant children with spastic hemiplegie CP (mean age; n.63±3.59 years, 8 boys, 11 girls) participated in this study. Passive dorsi flexion and plantar flexion range of motion (ROM) of ankle were measured with a goniometer in a supine position. Plantar flexor muscle tone and gait performance were evaluated by Modified Ashworth Scale and One-Minute Walk Test. Balance was evaluated with Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) and Modified Timed Up Go (mTUG) Test. After pre-evaluation, kinesio tape was applied over the gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscles of hemiplegie side. Results: The plantar flexor muscle tone and ankle ROM unchanged immediately and 48 h after KT application (p>0.05). However, there were significant differences in measurements of gait performance, PBS, mTUG test at 48 h after KT application (p<0.05), but not immediately (p>0.05). Discussion: It is concluded that KT has not an effect on ankle plantar flexor muscle spasticity and ankle ROM, but improves gait performance and balance in children with hemiplegie CP at 48 h after application.en_US
