Effect of Treadmill Training With and Without Trunk Kinesiotaping on Balance and Gait in Chronic Stroke Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating treadmill training with KT group (TTKT group) and treadmill training without KT group (TT group) for Stroke. Targeting 22 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effects of treadmill training with and without trunk kinesiotaping on balance and gait of chronic stroke patients. The main question it aims to answer is:- Does kinesiotaping have added benefit to improve gait and balance in chronic stroke patients?. Researcher will compare the treadmill training group with the group receiving treadmill training with kinesiotaping to see if there is any difference in the outcomes.

Timeline
Interventions
The area to be taped will be cleaned with an alcohol swab, and the I-shaped elastic KT was applied to the four trunk muscles from their insertion to their origin. Patients will then undergo treadmill walking with easy speed control for 20 minutes. The training will be immediately stopped if the subject complain of fatigue during treadmill training; training will be resumed after sufficient rest.
General treadmill training without taping will be carried out for the same time as the gait training of the experimental group, and the treadmill speed will also be a comfortable speed in the same manner as in the experimental group.
