Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to find the effect of a program of corrective kinesiotaping on pain intensity, foot function, and the sonographic picture of plantar fascia in adolescents with pronated feet.This study hypothesizes that there will be a statistically significant effect of a program of application of the corrective technique of kinesiotaping on plantar heel pain, foot function, and the sonographic picture of plantar fascia in a sample of Egyptian adolescents suffering from pronated feet.

Detailed Description

This study will be conducted to find the effect of a program of corrective kinesiotaping on pain intensity, foot function, and the sonographic picture of the plantar fascia in adolescents with pronated feet. Thirty adolescents suffering from plantar heel pain associated with pronated feet will be included in this study. They will be distributed randomly into 2 groups: Group A will receive corrective kinesiotaping (50-75% stretch) for 4 weeks, 2 times per week with 1 day of rest; Group B will receive a placebo non-corrective kinesiotaping (without tension) with no mechanical correction of the calcaneus; and Group C will receive a home program of intrinsic foot strengthening and stretching exercises. Data will be collected pre- and post-intervention for all groups by using the visual analog scale (VAS), the first two subscales of foot function index (FFI), and a sonographic picture of the foot for each adolescent. Participants will be recruited from outpatient clinics and schools.

    Active Comparator: Group B

    Group B: will receive a placebo non-corrective kinesio taping (without tension) with no mechanical correction of calcaneus

    Device: Non corrective kinesiology tape
    Non-corrective kinesiology tape is a form of biomechanical tape that is used without any tension
    Placebo Comparator: Group C

    Group C: will receive a home program of intrinsic foot strengthening and stretching exercises.

    Other: Home exercise program
    Intrinsic foot strengthening and stretching exercises
