Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyse the effect of McConnell patellar taping on walking speed, step length and stride length in sub-acute stroke patient. This is an experimental study with pre-post-test analysis (n=8). The McConnell patelar taping placed on knee joint in paresis side for 30 minutes with McConnell technique and measured by gait analysis. This research placed in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic Dr Soetomo General Hospital. Eight sub-acute stroke patients participated in this study with average age 46.38 ? 11.01 years old and onset of stroke 3,87 ? 1,13 months. The result of McConnell patelar taping application showed significant increase of walking speed, from 0,68 ? 0,26 m/s to 0.80?0.31 m/s (p< 0,05). However, step length and stride length increased but not statically significant (p>0,05). From the result of this study, it appears that application of McConnell patellar taping for can increase walking speed in sub-acute stroke patient and thought be useful for sub-acute stroke patient for improvement on walking speed.
