Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of application of Kinesiotape over the shoulder muscles to improve functions of upper extremity in children with cerebral palsy. Objective: To find out the effect of kinesiotaping over the shoulder muscular along with conventional occupational therapy, in improving upper limb functions of children with cerebral palsy. Method: It was a Pre Test and Post Test experimental study .60 children with cerebral palsy who were fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected by convenient sampling. A written informed consent and ethical permission was obtained. Quality of upper extremity skill test (QUEST) was used as instrument for measuring improvement in upper extremity functions. Therapy for both the groups was given for 1 hour per session. In the experimental group along with conventional occupational therapy, kinesiotape (KT) was applied over the shoulder muscles. Results: After intervention there was improvement in mean & standard deviation of QUEST more in experimental group as compared to control group. Conclusion: It can be concluded that application of kinesiotape along with conventional occupational therapy can be used to enhance & improve upper extremity functions in children with cerebral palsy.
