ABSTRACT
This study aimed to investigate the superimposition effects of elastic taping applied to the upper extremities prior to proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation therapy upper extremity pattern treatment on the rehabilitation of upper extremity functions of stroke patients. In this study, 14 stroke patients who were under hospital treatment at a rehabilitation hospital were selected as subjects. They were randomly divided into an experimental group (n=7), who would receive elastic taping therapy before proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, and a control group (n=7), who would not receive elastic taping therapy before proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. The action research arm test is an evaluative measure used to assess the functions of the upper extremities. The comparison of difference in the therapeutic effects, according to the therapeutic intervention, showed that the experimental group had more statistically significant differences than the control group. In conclusion, in elastic taping therapy and the therapeutic superimposition effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation treatment may improve upper extremity function in stroke patients.
