Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Physical Therapy Growth and Development Disorders in Pediatrics Summary: Objective: To determine the short term effect of Kinesio Taping on hand functions especially grasp in the preschool and primary school aged children with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Materials and Methods: Eleven spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsied children (aged 2 to 7 years old), selected from Physiotherapy outpatient clinics of the Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University; of both sexes (5 males and 6 females) participated in the study. Kinesio Tape was applied to all participants for a period of five days, with the tape being applied to the wrist and thumb of the involved hand. Additionally, during this period, all participants received the conventional physical therapy, with sessions lasting for 45 minutes each, and repeated three times a week. Moreover, occupational therapy programs were implemented in tandem with the aforementioned sessions, with biweekly sessions lasting 30 minutes each. Lastly, at the end of the five days treatment period, the tape was removed, and the skin was left to rest for two days. All children were evaluated before tape application and after four weeks of intervention after tape removal; using the Grasping subtests of both Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST) and Peabody Developmental Motor Scale-2 (PDMS-2). Results: After four weeks of intervention results showed that no significant changes post treatment when compared with corresponding pretreatment for the PDMS-2 (P value = 0.096) and QUEST (P value = 0.052) scores. Conclusion: These results suggested that application of Kinesio Tape for four weeks was not effective in improving the hand functions of spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy children
