Brief Summary

The effects of Kinesio-taping and rigid-taping on vertical jump performance have been investigated; however, results remain unclear.

Conditions

Pes Planus

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Vertical Jump

  The jumping performance of each participant was evaluated using the VertiMetric (Lafayette Instrument Company, Lafayette, IN) device.

  2 minutes

• Foot Posture

  Foot Posture Index is used for clinical diagnostic purposes that evaluate whether a foot is in pronation, supination, or normal posture. The sum of six-item scores between 0-5 are interpreted as normal foot, scores of 6-12 as pes planus, and scores \<0 as pes cavus.

  10 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Physical Activity

  3 minutes

Study Arms (2)

Kinesio-taping Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Kinesio® Tex GoldFP (USA) was applied on both feet in the prone position with the knee extended, and the feet in a slightly plantar flexed position and hanging off the bed. The first Kinesio-taping was cut as an I shape and prepared for the transverse arch ligament correction technique. The non-stretched starting anchor was attached to the dorsum of the 5th metatars on the lateral side of the foot, passed from the plantar surface to the medial side with 75-100% tension. The non-stretched end was attached to the medial side of the ankle over the navicular region. The non-stretched initial anchor of the second Kinesio-taping strip starting from the proximal dorsal of the 5th. metatarsal on the lateral side of the foot.

Other: Taping

Rigid-taping Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Low dye bandage technique was used with a 3.8 cm wide rigid band (Leuko® Sportstape Premium, Germany) for rigid taping. Rigid taping was performed on both feet in the subtalar neutral position while participants in the prone position with their heels and feet out of the bed. The taping protocol described elsewhere was followed. 21 To optimise rigid tape adhesion, feet were washed and dried before taping. To increase consistency, the same researcher (MU) applied all taping.

Other: Taping

Model Details: Low dye bandage technique was used with a 3.8 cm wide rigid band (Leuko® Sportstape Premium, Germany) for rigid taping. RT was performed on both feet in the subtalar neutral position while participants in the prone position with their heels and feet out of the bed. The taping protocol described elsewhere was followed. To optimise rigid tape adhesion, feet were washed and dried before taping. To increase consistency, the same researcher (MU) applied all taping.
