Accepts healthy volunteers: no
Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: Randomization will be made and divided into 3 groups with equal number of participants. The groups will be called control, experiment, and placebo. Only physiotherapy will be applied to the control group, kinesio taping and physiotherapy to the experimental group, and damask taping and physiotherapy to the placebo group.
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The aim of our study is to examine the effect of using kinesiology tape and using it for 8 weeks on Q angle and pes planus on children with cerebral palsy.

Detailed description: At the beginning of the study, the pes planus level of the children will be determined. Then randomization will be made and divided into 3 groups with equal number of participants. The groups will be called control, experiment, and placebo. Only physiotherapy will be applied to the control group, kinesio taping and physiotherapy to the experimental group, and damask taping and physiotherapy to the placebo group. The study will be followed for 8 weeks, and pre- and post-intervention data were statistically analyzed and compared.
