ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the use of Kinesio taping, a special taping technique, to help improve the movement and function of the arms in patients who have recently had a stroke. The goal is to see if Kinesio tape can help these patients recover better than using regular sports tape. Researchers also want to ensure that this technique is safe for stroke patients.

To be part of this study, participants must be diagnosed with a stroke and be in the early stages of recovery, meaning they should have a certain level of movement ability in their arms. They also need to be willing to join the study and sign a consent form. However, people who have other serious health issues, skin allergies, or those who struggle to follow treatment instructions won't be eligible. Participants in this trial can expect to receive either Kinesio tape or regular sports tape and will contribute to research that may help improve rehabilitation methods for stroke recovery in the future.
