dc.description.abstractObjective: Motor neuron pool activity is high in spasticity. The effect of inhibitory kinesiotaping (KT) on spasticity is unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of inhibitory KT on spasticity after stroke. Methods: Fifty stroke patients with ankle plantarflexor spasticity were randomised to intervention (27) and control (23) groups. Inhibitory KT was applied to the triceps surae muscle in the intervention group and sham KT to the Achilles tendon in the control group. Inhibitory and sham KT were applied for 72 h with a combined conventional rehabilitation programme. Spasticity was assessed at baseline and 72 h after KT using three instruments: Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Homosynaptic Post -Activation Depression (HPAD) reflecting the level of motor neuron pool activity, and joint torque as a measure of resistance to passive ankle dorsiflexion. Results: The baseline MAS score, HPAD levels and dorsiflexion torque of the two groups were not significantly different. The change in MAS score was -3.7 +/- 17.5 (p = 0.180) in the intervention group and 3.6 +/- 33.3 (p = 0.655) in the control group. The change in dorsiflexion torque was -0.3 +/- 16.1 kg m (p = 0.539) in the intervention group and 8.0 +/- 24.1 kg m (p = 0.167) in the control group. The change in mean HPAD was 8.7 +/- 34.7 (p = 0.911) in the intervention group and 10.1 +/- 41.6 (p = 0.609) in the control group. Conclusions: The present study showed that inhibitory KT has no antispastic effect in stroke patients.en_US
