The authors of this study examined the effects that Kinesio Tape (KT) application has on the balance ability of stroke patients with foot drop. Stroke patients experience a decrease in their balance due to the shifting of their body weight to their unaffected side. The ankle joint bears this unequal shifting while also providing proprioceptive information to the brain. Thus, interventions are needed in order to promote postural maintenance of the ankle. One of these interventions is Kinesio Tape, which is a flexible tape applied to the lower leg muscles and ankle. This application supports the ankle by correcting joint position and increasing proprioception. The authors hypothesized that KT taping increases support and stimulation of the ankle,
