Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to find the effect of a program of corrective kinesiotaping on pain intensity, foot function, and the sonographic picture of plantar fascia in adolescents with pronated feet.This study hypothesizes that there will be a statistically significant effect of a program of application of the corrective technique of kinesiotaping on plantar heel pain, foot function, and the sonographic picture of plantar fascia in a sample of Egyptian adolescents suffering from pronated feet.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Foot function Index

    4 weeks

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Diagnostic ultrasound

    4 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Group A

EXPERIMENTAL

Group A: will receive corrective kinesiotaping (50-75% stretch) for 4 weeks, 2 times per week, with 1 day rest

Device: Corrective Kinesiology taping

Group B

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Group B will receive a home program of intrinsic foot strengthening and stretching exercises.

Other: Home exercise program

Interventions

corrective kinesiology tape is a form of biomechanical tape that is used with specific tension to get a corrective effect

Also known as: Kinesiotape
