The effect of Kinesio Taping on motor function in children with cerebral palsy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Kinesio taping (KT) is a well-known rehabilitation therapy technique used for treating children with cerebral palsy. However, no meta-analysis of kinesio taping has been conducted specifically for this purpose. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to explore the effectiveness of kinesio taping in enhancing gross motor function, balance ability, and gait in children with cerebral palsy.

Methods

A comprehensive database search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Cnki, Wan Fang, VIP, and the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the impact of kinesio taping (KT) on cerebral palsy. RCTs published until May 31, 2024, that met our predetermined inclusion and e
