Özet:

 Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of ankle distortion taping on balance, gait, function, spasticity and quality of life in cerebral palsy cases with varus deformity. Methods: A two-armed randomized controlled trial was carried out in rehabilitation center. A total of 32 children with CP were randomized into taping TG and conventional therapy group CG. The children in the TG group were given distortion taping for 3 days in addition to CG. Participants were assessed before the treatment, in the immediate period after the first session, and in the acute period after the third session. The Timed Up and Go Test TUG, Single Leg Stance Test SLST, Modified Ashworth Scale MAS, Wisconsin Gait Scale WGS, and Child Health Questionnaire CHQ were used to evaluate clinical data. Results: The mean ages of the children in CG and TG were 9.622.50 and 10.01.63, respectively. Plantar flexor muscle spasticity decreased significantly in individuals with TG p0.0001. TUG and SLST scores improved significantly in the TG group p0.0001. There was a statistically significant difference in both in and between-group evaluations of WGS p0.05. The quality of life of the participants in TP improved p0.05. Conclusion: The results showed the effectiveness of distortion taping in reducing the spasticity of ankle plantar flexor muscles and improving function, balance and gait. However, taping was not superior to conventional rehabilitation.
