NCT ID NCT07334665

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at whether adding posture-oriented kinesio taping to standard rehab helps stroke patients improve their balance, coordination, and daily activities. Sixty adults who had a stroke at least one month ago will be randomly assigned to get either the tape plus rehab or rehab alone. Researchers will measure trunk control and balance before and after treatment to see if the tape makes a difference.
