This study aims to examine the effects of taping on lower leg joint in stroke patients’ on their static and dynamic balance and gait ability. Twenty-six stroke patients receiving physical therapy at A hospital located in Gyeonggi-do were divided equally into a taping on physical therapy and an ordinary physical therapy group. They exercised for 30 minutes each time, 3 times per week for 8 weeks, from June to August 2011. Romberg’s eye open and eye closed tests, limits of stability (LOS) , forwards and back test, timed up and go test(TUG) and 10-meter gait velocity test were performed to evaluate static balance, dynamic balance, and gait ability, respectively, prior to, 4 weeks after, and 8 weeks after the intervention. Differences within each group in relation to the lapse of time were compared with a repeated measure ANOVA. Differences between the two groups were compared with an independent t-test. Regarding comparison of differences within each group, all the tests resulted in significant changes in both groups after the intervention (p<.05). As for comparison of differences between the two groups, the taping on physical therapy group had significantly better test results than the ordinary physical therapy group in all measured items(p<.05). An after lower leg joint taping on stroke patients is more efficient and effective than ordinary physical therapy alone in improving their balance and gait ability.
