About this study

The effect of Kinesio-taping and rigid-taping on controlling foot pronation remains unclear due to contradicted results. Moreover, to our knowledge, there is not any study to elucidate the effect of rigid-taping on vertical jump performance. Therefore, the investigators hypothesised that rigid-taping would be more effective on vertical jump performance because of its direct mechanical correction in pes planus, and the study was aimed to compare the effects of Kinesio-taping and RT on vertical jump performance in sedentary adults with pes planus.

Treatment and study plan

Taping

Other

Kinesio taping and Rigid taping was applied.

Primary outcomes

  1. Vertical Jump

    Time frame: 2 minutes

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

  2. Foot Posture

    Time frame: 10 minutes

    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.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Physical Activity

    Time frame: 3 minutes

    The physical activity levels of the participants were evaluated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire.
