Abstract

Objective: To research the effect of kinesiologic taping (KT), applied to the wrist dorsiflexor muscle group using a facilitating (muscle strengthening) technique, on the hand function of children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) at its early stages and independent of exercise.
Methods: The study tests 20 patients who have been diagnosed with unilateral CP. KT, was applied to the plegic aspect of the dorsiflexor muscle group on the wrists and fingers of all subjects. Patients were evaluated in terms of age, gender, dominant hand. Hand function was evaluated by the Jebsen Hand Function Test (JHFT). The hand function of the patients was evaluated at three time points: before the KT; immediately after the application with KT in situ; and immediately after the KT was removed.
Results: The assessment of the patients' ability to perform activities such as turning pages, carrying small objects, eating simultaneously, stacking backgammon pieces on top of each other, moving light-large objects and heavy-large objects, before the KT and after the KT was applied showed a significant stastistical difference (p<0.05 for all parameters). The results of the patients before the KT was applied and after it was removed did not show a statistical significant difference (p>0.05 for all parameters).
Conclusion: It is thought that the application of KT to the wrist dorsiflexor and finger extensor muscle groups of children with unilateral CP contributes to the improvement of hand functions. There is a need for long term follow-up studies to see the long-term effect the KT.

Serebral Palsili Çocuklarda Kinezyolojik Bantlamanın El Fonksiyonu Üzerine Etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada unilateral (tek taraflı) tutulumu olan serebral palsi (SP)’li çocuklarda el bileği dorsi fleksör kas grubuna fasilitasyon tekniğiyle (kas güçlendirmeye yönelik) uygulanan kinezyolojik bantlamanın (KB) egzersizden bağımsız olarak el fonksiyonları üzerindeki erken etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Çalışmaya unilateral SP tanısı almış toplam 20 hasta dahil edildi. Tüm hastaların plejik taraf el bileği dorsi fleksör ve parmak ekstansörlerine yönelik kinezyolojik bantlama yapıldı. Hastalar yaş, cinsiyet, dominant el açısından değerlendirildi. Hastaların el fonksiyonları Jebsen Taylor El Fonksiyon Testi (JTEFT) ile değerlendirildi. Hastaların el fonksiyonu; kinezyolojik bantlamadan önce, kinezyolojik bant uyguladıktan hemen sonra ve kinezyolojik bant çıkarıldıktan sonra üç ayrı zamanda olacak şekilde değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Hastaların kinezyolojik bantlama öncesi ve kinezyolojik bantlamadan sonra yapılan değerlendirmesinde sayfa çevirme, küçük objeleri taşıma, yemek yeme, tavla pulu üst üste dizme, hafif-büyük nesneleri ve ağır-büyük nesneleri taşıma aktivitelerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptandı (tüm parametreler için p<0,05). Hastaların KB uygulanmadan önceki ve bant çıkarıldıktan sonraki sonuçlarında ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmadı (p>0,05).
Sonuç: Unilateral SP’li çocukların el bileği dorsi fleksör ve parmak ekstansör kas grubuna KB uygulamasının el fonksiyonlarını geliştirmeye katkısı olduğu düşünülmektedir. KB'nin uzun vadede etkisini görmek için daha uzun süreli takip çalışmalarına ihtiyaç vardır.
