Which Taping Technique is More Effective on Balance Skills in Children With Mildly Affected Cerebral Palsy?
Sponsor: Abant Izzet Baysal University
Summary
"Our study aims to determine which of ankle correction, quadriceps facilitation, and gluteus maximus facilitation taping provides a better immediate effect on balance skills in children with mildly affected cerebral palsy. Children whose parents have given consent for the study will undergo three different taping applications with a one-week interval. After each taping application, a 15-minute waiting period will be observed, followed by balance assessment using the Wii Balance System with eyes open and closed."

"Three different taping applications will be applied, namely ankle correction, quadriceps facilitation, and gluteus maximus facilitation." 1. Taping: Functional correction technique will be used to facilitate dorsal flexion movement." 2. Taping: Quadriceps Femoris (QF) Facilitation Technique - In taping to activate the QF muscle and regulate muscle tone, the patient will be placed in a supine position with hips and knees in neutral. 3. Taping: Gluteus Maximus (GM) Facilitation Technique - For taping to facilitate the GM muscle, a double-band application will be performed.
