Abstract
Objective: After a stroke, most patients have poor ankle control and difficulty walking. Considering that proper foot placement will provide a more balanced and controlled gait, the aim of this study was to investigate the immediate effect of non-elastic ankle taping providing eversion support on gait balance in stroke patients.
 Material-Method: 
 The study included 30 stroke patients. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: intervention group (n=15) and the control group (n=15). The control group received 45 min of conventional physiotherapy. The intervention group received 45 min of conventional physiotherapy after nonelastic taping, which provides eversion support. The gait balance of both groups was evaluated using the Dynamic Gait Index before and after treatment.
 Results:
 A significant difference was found in the Dynamic Gait Index total score of the intervention and control groups before and after treatment (p
