Functional Strength Training and Kinesiotaping, With and Without Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation in Fibular (Peroneal) Neuropathy

Fibular neuropathy frequently manifests as foot drop, muscle weakness, altered gait, and sensory loss, all of which severely reduce mobility and quality of life. There is still uncertainty regarding the efficacy of kinesio taping (KT), proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), and functional strength training (FST) in combination. Although PNF improves neuromuscular coordination, KT provides proprioceptive input, and FST increases strength and mobility, there are no set treatment guidelines and little research has compared these modalities. In order to contribute to evidence-based rehabilitation techniques for people with fibular neuropathy, this study attempts to assess whether adding PNF to FST and KT improves functional outcomes compared to FST and KT alone.
