Kinesio Taping in Cerebral Palsy Upper Extremity Functionality

Before applying the tape, it was checked whether the children were allergic. Tape was first started from the distal part of the fingers and taped with 0% tension with Kinesio Taping Functional Correction Technique. Another I tape was applied from palmar area of the hand to spina scapula for supination of the forearm and external rotation of the shoulder with %0 tension to make functional correction (Figure 2). Kinesio Taping Functional Correction method is suggested to be done with 75% of tension but for children, we applied it with 0% tension to minimize the shear effects to the skin4. Kinesio Tex Light Touch Plus tape was used for taping application (Kinesio Co., USA).
