Introduction: Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive developmental disorder that, due to its chronic and debilitating nature, can affect the mental and physical health of people with this disorder. This study was conducted to compare the immediate and long-term effects of facilitative and inhibitory kinesiotaping on the spasticity of the gastrocnemius muscle and the range of motion in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.
Methodology: This study employed a semi-experimental design with three groups. A total of 34 children with cerebral palsy were randomly assigned to the study. The spasticity of the gastrocnemius muscle was assessed using the modified Ashworth scale, and the range of motion was evaluated using a goniometer. Data were analyzed using ANOVA.
Results: Based on the results obtained, there was no significant difference in the long-term and immediate use of inhibitory kinesiotaping compared to facilitative kinesiotaping concerning the spasticity of the gastrocnemius muscle and the range of motion of the ankle in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The current results indicate that both facilitative and inhibitory kinesiotaping can have an effect on the spasticity of the gastrocnemius muscle and the range of motion of the ankle. However, there was no significant difference between the effects of facilitative kinesiotaping and inhibitory kinesiotaping on the spasticity of the gastrocnemius muscle and the range of motion of the ankle.
