The results of this study revealed significant improvement in the percentage of degeneration of the two groups (A and B), when comparing their pre and post-treatment mean values.Significant difference was also observed when comparing the post-treatment results of the two groups in favor of the study group. from the obtained results of this study it could be concluded that using kinesio taping in conjunction with designed physical therapy program has significant effect on wrist and finger extensors recovery of Erb’s palsy patients |
