Cerebral vascular accident (CVA) is one of the main causes of neurological sequelae, presenting motor deficits such as hemiplegia. Motor deficits can cause loss of coordination and precision of movements necessary for a good functional performance in self-care, leisure and productivity activities, significantly changing one’s routine. Individuals affected by CVA suffer a rupture in their family, affective, social and professional relationships, with repercussions in their lifestyle. Several methods and techniques are used by occupational therapists in the rehabilitation of these individuals, such as the application of functional bandages, which are elastic bandages used in muscle and joint injuries. This research aimed to identify possible changes in occupational performance after the use of functional bandages in individuals suffering from hemiplegia as a consequence of stroke. It is a longitudinal, descriptive, exploratory study of quantitative approach on pre- and post-occupational therapy intervention. The results showed that taping contributed to increased range of motion and evolution of components and areas of occupational performance. We conclude that functional bandage is an important tool to be used as an adjuvant in occupational therapy in order to obtain positive results in the rehabilitation of hemiplegic patients affected by stroke
