Detailed Description
Health practitioners have recently become interested in using kinesiology taping in clinical practice as an alternative to traditional taping and bracing procedures for treating a variety of diseases, including sprain of metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe. Patients with turf toe can benefit from kinesiology tape because it offers therapeutic support and stability while preserving a normal range of motion.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: exercise group 60-minutes exercise program, three times a week on alternate days for 12 successive weeks. |
Other: Traditional physical therapy program
60-minutes exercise program, three times a week on alternate days for 12 successive weeks
Other Names:
|
| Experimental: placebo kinesiology taping plus exercise group Kinesiology taping was used, however the strain was zero. Before each exercise session, the tape was changed every two days while the patients were present. |
Other: Traditional physical therapy program
60-minutes exercise program, three times a week on alternate days for 12 successive weeks
Other Names:
Other: placebo Kinsio taping
One full strip of kinesiology taping tape and one half-length strip were needed for the placebo kinesiology taping application
Other Names:
|
| Experimental: kinesiology taping plus exercise group putting no stress on the opposite end and a 50% stretch from the top of the big toe to the heel along the back of the heel. After applying a 50% stretch from the top of the big toe to the second horizontal little strip between the big toe and second toe, place the ends below the toe diagonally with no stress. |
Other: Traditional physical therapy program

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Pain visual analog scale [at first week]
The degree of the pain was assessed using a 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS), with 0 denoting no pain and 10 denoting the most painful event.
- Pain visual analog scale [after 12 weeks]
The degree of the pain was assessed using a 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS), with 0 denoting no pain and 10 denoting the most painful event.
- Gait parameters (step length by centimeter). [at first week]
The twelve computerized cameras of the VICON 3D motion analysis system were used to record gait data.
- Gait parameters (step length by centimeter). [after 12 weeks]
The twelve computerized cameras of the VICON 3D motion analysis system were used to record gait data.
- Gait parameters (stride length by meter). [at first week]
The twelve computerized cameras of the VICON 3D motion analysis system were used to record gait data.
- Gait parameters (stride length by meter). [after 12 weeks]
The twelve computerized cameras of the VICON 3D motion analysis system were used to record gait data.
- Gait parameters (cadence by steps per minute). [at first week]
The twelve computerized cameras of the VICON 3D motion analysis system were used to record gait data.
- Gait parameters (cadence by steps per minute). [after 12 weeks]
The twelve computerized cameras of the VICON 3D motion analysis system were used to record gait data.
- Gait parameters (velocity by centimeter per second). [at first week]
The twelve computerized cameras of the VICON 3D motion analysis system were used to record gait data.
- Gait parameters (velocity by centimeter per second). [after 12 weeks]
The twelve computerized cameras of the VICON 3D motion analysis system were used to record gait data.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Functional ability assessment [at first week]
Functional ability was assessed using the 6-minute walk test.
- Functional ability assessment [after 12 weeks]
Functional ability was assessed using the 6-minute walk test.
