Summary

The first aim of this study is whether the inhibitory kinesio taping application can reduce spasticity. The second aim of this study is to investigate whether the kinesio taping application have neuromodulatory activity on motor neuron and stretch reflex.

Hypotheses of this study: unlike healthy cases, in patients with spastic hemiplegia

1. Inhibitory kinesio taping application can reduced spasticity
2. Inhibitory kinesio taping application can reduced motor neuron activity and stretch reflex
