Children with cerebral palsy (CP) may present with a variety of motor impairments including altered muscle tone, loss of strength, and balance and coordination problems. Orthopaedic surgery, constraint-induced movement therapy, occupational therapy, and traditional therapy are some of the treatments that are generally used in the course of CP treatment. In addition, studies have emphasized the possible benefits of several recent methods such as taping, which is frequently used in paediatric rehabilitation clinics.

Taping is an increasingly popular adjunct to therapy because it is easy to apply and inexpensive, and it can be easily removed or changed according to therapy objectives. The goals of taping in children with CP are to correct postural misalignment, enhance the stability of joints, activate weak muscles, support weak structures, manage spasticity, and stimulate the sensory system.
