Brief Summary

Pes planus is a postural deformity seen with decreased medial longitudinal arch (MLA) height and this causes intense stress on the plantar fascia. Pes planus may affect individuals' activities of daily living, their productivity in occupational environments, and the risk of injury and performance in sports; It has also been reported that it may cause different musculoskeletal diseases such as plantar fasciitis, medial tibial stress syndrome, patellofemoral disorders and back pain in the future. Many clinical methods are used as a treatment for pes planus and most treatments involve supporting an overstretched plantar fascia and weakened MLA. The aim of the study is to investigate the immediate effects of kinesio taping and manual release on lower extremity performance in young adults with pes planus.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Timed up and go test (TUG)

  The timed up and go test is used to assess functional mobility. The test involves getting up from a standard chair without armrests, walking around a cone 3 m in front of the chair, and returning to the original sitting position as quickly as possible without running. The test is started with the researcher's verbal "go" instruction and the time to complete the test is recorded. After a familiarization attempt, three recorded exercises are performed with one-minute rest intervals. The fastest of three attempts is saved.

  Change from baseline at immediately after one-session treatment

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Heel rise test (HRT)

  Change from baseline at immediately after one-session treatment

• 10 meter walk test, walking speed

  Change from baseline at immediately after one-session treatment

• 10 meter walk test, cadence

  Change from baseline at immediately after one-session treatment

• Functional reach test (FUT)

  Change from baseline at immediately after one-session treatment

Study Arms (2)

Manual release group

EXPERIMENTAL

Manual release will perform with plantar fascia and flexor hallucis longus stretching and tissue mobilization. Stretching/mobilization will applied for approximately 3 minutes.

Other: Manual Release

Kinesio taping group

EXPERIMENTAL

Two techniques will be used in kinesio taping application; first technique is the gastrocnemius muscle inhibition technique and the plantar fascia ligament correction technique and other technique is the transverse arch ligament correction technique.

Other: Kinesio Taping

Interventions

Manual Release OTHER

Individuals are placed in the prone position with their knees extended. The calcaneus is kept in eversion while maintaining talocrural dorsiflexion. As the toes are stretched in dorsiflexion, the therapist slides the big toe distally and proximally along the plantar fascia and flexor hallucis longus. Soft tissue mobilization depth will be applied according to the patient's tolerance and reactivity.

Manual release group

Kinesio Taping OTHER

In the first technique, an "I" tape will be applied on the plantar surface of the foot from the metatarsal heads to the popliteal fossa. First, the middle of the band is attached to the inferior of the calcaneus as the first anchor, then the ankle is dorsiflexed and the upper part of the band is applied with 15-25% tension until the popliteal fossa. The plantar fascia is placed in a stretched position by dorsiflexing the ankle and fingers, and the ends of the tape, which is divided into 4 parts, are applied separately to the metatarsal heads with 75-100% tension. In the second technique, the application is made with an "I" tape. The initial anchor starts from the dorsal aspect of the 5th metatarsal on the lateral aspect of the foot. Then, the tape passes to the medial side of the foot with 75-100% tension and is adhered to the medial side of the foot and ankle over the navicular. The end anchor is applied without tension.
