Brief Summary

It is stated that abnormal lower extremity posture and biomechanics are effective in the development and progression of Low Back Pain (LBP). Exercise, electrotherapy, insoles, and orthoses are used for the prevention and treatment of low back pain.The use of orthosis, insoles, and taping techniques stands out in the correction of foot posture and dysfunctions, which are stated to cause LBP. In studies examining the application of taping to improve foot posture and biomechanics, it is stated that taping is effective in improving foot posture and biomechanics in the short term. Biomechanical taping has been used in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders in recent years. It is aimed to correct the impaired joint biomechanics by reducing the load on the joint, supporting strength, and providing movement modification.

Conditions

Low Back Pain; Foot Posture; Taping; Functional Mitral Regurgitation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

  It is used to evaluate the level of pain.The activity, rest and night pain levels of the patients will be question.

  4 week

• Foot Posture Index (FPI-6)

  FPI-6 examines foot posture under 6 headings: talar head palpation, supra and infra lateral malleoli curvature, calcaneal frontal plane position, prominence in region of talonavicular joint, congruence of medial longitudinal arch, abduction/adduction of forefoot on rearfoot. Each measure is scored from -2 to 2. A total score of 0 is considered a neutral foot; a positive score is for pronated foot, whereas a supinated foot is given a negative score.

  4 week

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT)

  4 week

• Step-On-Stool Test

  4 week

• PILE Lumbar Lifting Test

  4 week

• Revised Oswestry Disability Index

  4 week

Biomechanical Taping

EXPERIMENTAL

Anti pronation taping will apply bilaterally with Dynamic Tape®. The tape will attach to the dorsal aspect of the foot. A home-based exercise program will apply in the first session. Printouts showing the exercises will give to the patients. Exercises will be done at home for 4 weeks, 5 d/w.

Other: Taping

Placebo Taping

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Placebo Taping will apply bilaterally to each individual in the control group by the same physiotherapist, without any effect on increased pronation. A home-based exercise program will apply in the first session. Printouts showing the exercises will give to the patients. Exercises will be done at home for 4 weeks, 5 d/w.

Other: Taping

Interventions

Taping OTHER

Tape applications will repeat twice per week, for 4 weeks.
