Özet

Aims: The present review was aimed to indicate the existing effectiveness of kinesio taping (KT) use in stroke patients with shoulder symptoms. Methods: The literature search was carried out in PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science (WoS) databases. The quality assessment was accomplished using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. A narrative synthesis was conducted to present the results. Results: Thirteen studies were included in the study. The contribution of the KT to internal and external range of motion (ROM), specifically flexion and abduction, was emphasized. KT's additional advantages to reducing pain, spasticity, and increasing motor function (including electromyography findings) were highlighted. Function scores and stroke staging of the individuals were improved with reducing the severity of the subluxation and a more stable shoulder joint. Conclusion: The present systematic review reported the positive effects of KT on shoulder pain, spasticity, passive-ROM, active-ROM, and motor function in individuals with stroke.
