Kinetic Taping for Foot Drop
Channel: Independent Rehabilitation Services
Date: 2023-11-20

Kinesio Tape is used to provide proprioceptive input to the client for better foot positioning during gait.

This technique is appropriate for anyone who presents with hemiparetic foot drop that may result from the following conditions:
- stroke
- spinal cord injury
- acquired brain injury (ABI) or traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- and neuro degenerative conditions resulting in decreased lower limb activation.

This taping method is supported by a number of research articles and has been adapted to ensure clinicians are using evidence based practice.
