Kinesiotaping, Tenodesis, MAS, action research arm test, sollerman hand function test.

Background: Tenodesis function is used to facilitates grasp in tetraplegia by shortening and tightening of the flexor digitorum superficialis. Lower motor neuron damage affects its development. Kinesiotaping improves sensory inputs and reduce spasticity, but its effectiveness in SCI has not been studied. Our objective was to investigate its impact on hand function and spasticity in SCI patients. Objective:-To find out the effect of kinesiotaping on tenodesis grasp as well as on spasticity and fine motor hand function in a person with spinal cord injury Methodology: Convenient Sampling was done for 10 SCI participants and then they were randomly divided into 2 groups, Group A and Group B. Group A was a conventional group in which hand activities were given and Group B was an experimental group, where hand activities along with kinesiotaping were given. Hand function was measured using the Modified Ashworth Scale, Sollerman Hand Function Scale, and Action Research Arm Test Result: According to the results, there was a significant difference between the post- mean values of GROUP A and GROUP B in the MAS pvalue (0.05), which indicated that there was a substantial difference in the ARAT scale pvalue (0.0315) and an extremely significant difference in the SHFT scale pvalue (0.04). Conclusion: This study concluded that a 4- Week Kinesiotaping applied in both the Flexor and Extensor Aspect of the Hand with Conventional Exercise Protocol was more effective than conventional exercises alone on Spasticity and Fine Motor function in Persons with SCI, as there was significant differences found in Between groups for the scores of MAS, ARAT, SHFT.
