Summary

This study tested whether kinesio taping (a special elastic tape placed on the skin) can improve arm and hand function, reduce pain, and boost mood in people who recently had a stroke. 26 adults with arm weakness were randomly assigned to get either real kinesio taping or a fake version, along with standard rehab. Results were measured after 3 weeks of taping and again at 6 weeks.
