Background and Purpose: Spastic cerebral palsy is accompanied with an increase in calf muscles’ spasticity and a decrease in the ankle range of motion. The purpose of the study was to compare muscle inhibitory with functional corrective Kinesio taping applications on children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods: Thirty two children with spastic cerebral palsy were selected from the outpatient clinic of the faculty of Physical Therapy Cairo University. Muscle inhibitory and functional corrective Kinesio taping applications in addition to physical therapy program were applied for three successive months. Digital Goniometer was used to assess the ankle range of motion pre and post Kinesio tape applications. Results: The study revealed that that the functional corrective Kinesio taping is more effective in increasing ankle range of motion than the muscle inhibitory. Conclusion: Functional Corrective Kinesio tape application is recommended for increasing ankle range of motion in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
