Clinical trial NCT06022718: Comparison of Kinesio-Taping and Rigid-Taping on Vertical Jump in Individuals With Pes Planus
Official title: A Randomised Crossover Comparison of Kinesio-Taping and Rigid-Taping on Vertical Jump in Individuals With Pes Planus
Study type: INTERVENTIONAL
Overall status: COMPLETED
Phase: NA
Conditions: Pes Planus
Lead sponsor: Cyprus International University
Sponsor class: OTHER
First posted: 2023-09-05
Enrollment: 74
Sex: ALL
Minimum age (years): 18
Maximum age (years): 35
Standard ages: ADULT
Accepts healthy volunteers: yes
Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: CROSSOVER
Intervention model description: Low dye bandage technique was used with a 3.8 cm wide rigid band (Leuko® Sportstape Premium, Germany) for rigid taping. RT was performed on both feet in the subtalar neutral position while participants in the prone position with their heels and feet out of the bed. The taping protocol described elsewhere was followed. To optimise rigid tape adhesion, feet were washed and dried before taping. To increase consistency, the same researcher (MU) applied all taping.
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The effects of Kinesio-taping and rigid-taping on vertical jump performance have been investigated; however, results remain unclear.

Detailed description: The effect of Kinesio-taping and rigid-taping on controlling foot pronation remains unclear due to contradicted results. Moreover, to our knowledge, there is not any study to elucidate the effect of rigid-taping on vertical jump performance. Therefore, the investigators hypothesised that rigid-taping would be more effective on vertical jump performance because of its direct mechanical correction in pes planus, and the study was aimed to compare the effects of Kinesio-taping and RT on vertical jump performance in sedentary adults with pes planus.
