Study summary

In this study, it is aimed to examine the effect of rigid taping on hyperextension control in stroke patients with knee hyperextension in the stance phase of gait.

Hypothesis Ho: Rigid taping has no effect on the control of knee hyperextension in stroke patients.

H1: Rigid taping has an effect on the control of knee hyperextension in stroke patients.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Vicon Motion Capture System

    A total of 16 reflective signs will be placed on certain anatomical points of the participants. Gait analysis will be performed at a distance of 5 meters from the participants. The three-dimensional positions of the reflective marks will be recorded with the 8-camera Vicon motion capture system.

    Time frame: Baseline

  2. Blade Software System

    Data obtained from Vicon motion capture system will be processed with Blade software. With the blade software, kinematic data will be obtained in the computer environment.

    Time frame: Baseline
