Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of therapeutic interventions in the field of physical therapy on the improvement of functional activity and gait and balance ability of the upper and lower extremities.
Methods: Twenty subjects of the study participated in the study after hearing the explanation of the study, and were divided into Experimental Group 1 and Experimental Group 2 using a randomization method to participate in the study. Experimental group 1 received functional electrical stimulation treatment for the upper extremities and lower extremities for 20 minutes before PNF, and experimental group 2 received taping therapy to the upper extremities and lower extremities before PNF. In this study, FMA was used to evaluate the functional activity of the subject, walking ability was evaluated through TUG test, and balance was evaluated using BBS.
Results: In the results of this study, there was a statistically significant difference in functional activity, gait, and balance between the pre- and post-evaluations. However, no statistically significant difference was found in the analysis comparing the size of the treatment effect between the two experimental groups.
Conclusion: In conclusion, functional electrical stimulation therapy and taping therapy are therapeutic methods that are helpful in improving functional activity, gait, and balance ability in stroke patients. In addition, based on the results of this study, the necessary treatment can be selectively applied according to the patient's situation.
