Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of Kinesio taping on subluxation of shoulder in hemiplegic patients after stroke.Methods From October, 2015 to October, 2016, 40 hemiplegic patients after stroke were randomly divided into control group (n=20) and test group (n=20). They were administered with routine rehabilitation, and the test group accepted Kinesios taping and the control group accepted placebo taping. The gap between acromion and caput humeri in X-ray film was measured before and after four weeks of treatment respectively, while they were assessed with Simplified Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) of upper limb.Results The gap between acromion and caput humeri was less in the test group than in the control group after treatment (Z=-2.004, P<0.05), while the score of FMA was more (t=2.492, P<0.05).Conclusion Kenesio taping may prevent subluxation of shoulder in hemiplegic patients after stroke, and promote the recovery of motor function of upper limbs.

Key words: stroke, shoulder, subluxation, Kenesio taping
