Summary

Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) present limited performance of functional activities and activities of daily life. Kinesio taping has been definied as a promising technique for children with CP ans has been extensively used in clinical practice. However, several studies have found a low level of evidence of its effectiveness in healthy individuals. We aim to evaluate the effects of the immediate application of Kinesio taping on the activation of the rectus femoris and anterior tibialis muscles and on the duration of sit-to-stand movement in children with CP.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

OTHER

Kinesio taping

An experienced physiotherapist placed the base of the Kinesio taping strip, over rectus femoris muscle, 3cm bellow the anterior iliac spine, without tension. From this point, the Kinesio taping was placed up to the upper edge of the patella and stretched to 100% tension. It was, then, bi-sectioned, circled the patella and ended in the tuberosity of the femur, without tension. In order to avoid interference in the electromyography signals, a section was held at Kinesio taping at the point where the electrode was placed.

OTHER

Without taping

Children performed functional activities without tape
