Summary

Title: Effects of Kinesiology Taping on Motor Function, Balance, and Spasticity in Children with Hemiplegic and Diplegic Cerebral Palsy: A Four-Week Study Study Type: Interventional (Clinical Trial) Study Design: Single-group, pre-post design Condition: Cerebral Palsy (Hemiplegic and Diplegic) Intervention: Kinesiology taping applied to trunk and extremity muscles over four weeks

Primary Outcome Measures:

Trunk and joint range of motion (ROM) Manual muscle testing (MMT) of the trunk Spasticity assessment using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS)

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) Functional Independence Measure for children (WeeFIM) Paediatric Berg Balance Scale (PBS) Sitting Assessment Scale (SAS) Study Duration: 4 weeks Sample Size: 30 children (aged X-Y years) with hemiplegic or diplegic cerebral palsy Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted. The study evaluates the short-term effects of kinesiology taping on motor function, spasticity, balance, and trunk control.
