fa اثر آنی و طولانی مدت کینزیوتیپ بر زبردستی ظریف کودکان فلج مغزی اسپاستیک کارآزمایی بالینی Clinical Trials <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#008080;"><strong><em>Background and Objective:</em></strong></span> Wrist flexion and thumb-in-palm deformity is the most common involvement of hand in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) that limit the ability of functional activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immediate and long- term effect of kinesio taping on fine dexterity in children with spastic CP.<br> <strong><em><span style="color:#008080;">Materials and Methods:</span> </em></strong>In this double blind randomized clinical trial, 36 children with spastic CP (4-14 yrs old), who had wrist flexion and thumb-in-palm deformity, were randomly divided into two groups. In both groups, Kinesio tape was applied over dorsal aspect of forearm, wrist and thumb (the control group received kinesio tape without tension as a placebo,). The fine dexterity of two groups was evaluated using Nine Hole Peg Test at five intervals: prior to taping, immediately, 30 minutes and 2 days after taping and 2 days after tape removal. Repeated measures ANOVA was used for data analysis.<br> <strong><em><span style="color:#008080;">Results:</span> </em></strong>The results exhibited significant differences between two groups in terms of fine dexterity mean (P <0.001). However, there was no significant difference for interaction effect concerning time and group (P=0.955).<br> <strong><em><span style="color:#008080;">Conclusion:</span> </em></strong>Kinesio taping is effective in improving fine dexterity immediately after taping and this effect remains stable over time.</span></span></p> Kinesio tape, Cerebral palsy, Dexterity 51 59 http://journal.zums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-4-1058&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Mino Kalantari مینو کلانتری 5200319475328460051417 5200319475328460051417 No Dept. of Occupational Therapy, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran دانشگاه علوم پزشکی شهید بهشتی، تهران Zabihollah Rasti ذبیح اله راستی 5200319475328460051418 5200319475328460051418 No Dept. of Occupational Therapy, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran دانشگاه علوم پزشکی شهید بهشتی، تهران Zahra Shafiee زهرا شفیعی Shafiee69@yahoo.com 5200319475328460051419 5200319475328460051419 Yes Dept. of Occupational Therapy, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran دانشگاه علوم پزشکی شهید بهشتی، تهران Alireza Shamsoddini علیرضا شمس الدینی 5200319475328460051420 5200319475328460051420 No Exercise Physiology Research Center, Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran دانشگاه علوم پزشکی شهید بهشتی، تهران Alireza Akbarzadeh Baghban علیرضا اکبر زاده باغبان 5200319475328460051421 5200319475328460051421 No Dept.of Biostatistics, School of Rehabilitation, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran دانشگاه علوم پزشکی شهید بهشتی، تهران
