Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Plantar fasciitis is a very studied pathology and treated with taping. There are studies that assess the effectiveness of Kinesio taping, as well as taping or low-dye taping, few studies that compare the two treatments and assess which is more effective.

In the present work the effectiveness of Kinesio taping and taping will be assessed, as well as whether possible differences among intervention effects exist in terms of pain improvement, comfort and durability of the bandage.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Plantar Fasciitis	Other: kinesiology taping; Other: taping or Low-dye taping	N/A

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. Visual Analogue Scale of Pain [seven days]

   It is rated on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain and 10 is extreme pain.

2. comfort [seven days]

   Comfort is rated on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is no comfotable and 10 is very comfortable

3. Visual Analogue Scale of Mobility [seven days]

   the degree of MOBILITY that the foot has had when using the bandage, rated from 0 no mobility to 10

4. Visual Analogue Scale of comfort [seven days]

   The degree of COMFORT IN HYGIENE of the bandage: (for example at the time of showering or personal hygiene), rated from 0, no comfort to 10, maximum confort
