Kinesio<sup>®</sup> Taping of the Medial Thigh and a Thigh Pressure Orthotic Device Had an Immediate Effect on Hip Adduction and Gait Function in a Case of Obturator Nerve Injury

[Purpose] To measure the effects of medial thigh tactile pressure stimulation on a case obturator nerve injury. [Participant and Methods] The patient was 65-year-old man with an injury after prostatectomy who referred to us 3 months onset. His left adductor magnus atrophied. He complained gait instability, but this symptom improved when he pressed his hand. confirm phenomenon, hip muscle strength Timed Up & Go Test were measured compared under three conditions: no stimulation, Kinesio® taping (KT), orthotic device (POD). [Results] In both measurements, KT POD showed immediate improvement in values stimulus condition. [Conclusion] applied shown have compensated for motor function
