Study type | Interventional |
In stroke patients, the most common neurological deficits were motor impairment, loss of
somatosensation, abnormal muscle tone, and impaired fractionated movement at affected limbs.
Therefore, the investigators try to facilitate upper extremity function and normalize the
muscle tone to enlarge their capacity to perform daily activities and to improve life quality
by modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT) and Kinesiotaping (KT).
The investigators will collect 90 subacute stroke patients with hemiplegia in this study.
These 90 patients will be randomly divided into 3 groups. In KT group (n=30), the patients
will perform Kinesiology taping for 5 days per week for 3 weeks. In mCIMT group (n=30), the
patient will receive constraint the unaffected limb for 2 hours a day, 5 days a week for
three weeks. In KT+mCIMT group, the KT and mCIMT interventions would be performed for 5 days
a week in three weeks. All the patients in KT, CIMT and KT+mCIMT groups will receive
20-minute hand function training twice daily for 5 days per week for 3 weeks. Before
intervention, immediately and 3 week later after intervention, all patients will receive the
physical examinations including motor recovery stage (Brunnstrom stage), spasticity (modified
Ashworth scale and Tardieu scale), and sensation. Fugl-Meyer assessment for upper extremity
(FMA-UE), box and block test, Simple Test for Evaluating Hand Function (STEF), and Wolf Motor
Function Test for hand function, ADL and quality of life assessment and musculoskeletal
sonography for affected forearms will be also evaluated in this study.
The aims of this study are:
1. To investigate the effect of Kinesiotaping and modified CIMT in improving upper
extremity function and spasticity for subacute stroke patients with hemiplegia.
2. To explore the role of sonoelastography and shear wave velocity in poststroke spasticity
assessment.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | the change from baseline to time of Fugl-Meyer assessment | a therapist will evaluate Fugl-Meyer assessment for upper extremity (FMA-UE) for each participant. In this assessment, participants would need to execute a series of movements, which involved proximal and distal part of upper limb. The higher the grade, the better the performance. | 3rd week, and 6th week | |
Primary | the change from baseline to time of Musculoskeletal sonography | an experienced physiatrist will evaluate the findings on sonography, sonoelastography, and shear wave velocity (SWV). The participants will sit upright and put their upper extremities on the bed with elbow flexion in 90 degrees and the forearm full supination. The measured levels for evaluating FCR, FCU, and FDS muscles will be recorded at first time and use the same level at follow up for each patient. The SWV will be done in the longitudinal/transverse planes and be performed at the maximal cross-section area of the muscles and repeatedly measured for 7 times for each muscle. The sonoelastography will be applied in the longitudinal plane of the detected muscles at the same level of the SWV. | 3rd week, and 6th week | |
Primary | the change from baseline to time of MAS scale | a therapist will measure spasticity of affected upper extremity at elbow and wrist joints (modified Ashworth scale). In this scale, muscle tone would be assessed by quick stretch of muscle belly. The scoring criteria are as follows. 0, no increase in muscle tone; 1, Slight increase in muscle tone; 2, More marked increase in muscle tone through most of the ROM; 3, considerable increase in muscle tone; 4, affected part(s) rigid in flexion or extension. | 3rd week, and 6th week | |
Secondary | the change from baseline to time of Brunnstrom stage | a therapist will measure motor recovery stage (Brunnstrom stage) | 3rd week, and 6th week | |
Secondary | the change from baseline to time of modified Tardieu scale | a therapist will measure spasticity of affected upper extremity at elbow and wrist joints (modified Tardieu scale). | 3rd week, and 6th week | |
Secondary | the change from baseline to time of existence of sensation | a therapist will measure the sensation, including light touch, pinprick touch, proprioception. | 3rd week, and 6th week | |
Secondary | the change from baseline to time of quality of life by Stroke Impact Scale | Stroke Impact Scale would be used to measure the independence of daily activities. It is a self-reported questionnaire. The contents involve various aspect of life. The high the grade, the more serious the life is affected. | 3rd week, and 6th week | |
Secondary | the change from baseline to time of quality of life by Barthel Index | Barthel Index would be used to measure the independence of daily activities. It is a form that contains different activities of daily living. The higher the outcome grades, the better the level of independence. | 3rd week, and 6th week | |
Secondary | the change from baseline to time of functional performance by box and block test | box and block test would be used to assess the grasping and release performance of the affected hand. | 3rd week, and 6th week | |
Secondary | the change from baseline to time of functional performance by STEF | Simple Test for Evaluating Hand Function (STEF) would be used to assess the hand function by executing various types of grasping. | 3rd week, and 6th week | |
Secondary | the change from baseline to time of functional performance by Wolf Motor Function Test | Wolf Motor Function Test would be used for measuring hand functions. | 3rd week, and 6th week |
