The purpose of this study is to analyse the effect of McConnell patellar taping on joint position sense and threshold to detection passive motion in sub acute stroke patient. This is an pre-post test analysis experimental study (n=8). The McConnell patelar taping placed on knee joint in paresis side for 30 minute with McConnell technique and measured by isokinetic dynamometer (Cybex). This research placed in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic Dr Soetomo General Hospital. Eight sub acute stroke patient in this study had average age 46.38 ? 11.01 years old and onset of stroke 3,87 ? 1,13 months. The result of McConnell patelar taping application showed significant increase of knee joint position sense in 150 (from 10,78 ? 3,5 to 12,22 ? 3,64 degree) , 300 (from 23,17 ? 3,54 to 24,27 ? 3,50 degree) and improve threshold to detection passive motion (from 13,09 ? 3,49 to 12,09 ? 3,51 second ). Result of this study, conclude that application of McConnell patellar taping can increase joint position sense and improve threshold to detection passive motion and useful for improvement on proprioception in sub acute stroke patient.
