Immediate Effects of Kinesio Taping and Manual Release in Young Adults With Pes Planus
April 6, 2022 updated by: Ertuğrul Demirdel, Ankara Yildirim Beyazıt University
Investigation of the Immediate Effects of Kinesio Taping and Manual Release on Lower Extremity Performance in Young Adults With Pes Planus
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.

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
This study is a randomized controlled trial, will be carried out on volunteer individuals with pes planus aged between 18-25, studying at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University.
Evaluation of parameters and inclusion criteria, kinesio taping and manual release applications will be made by the Physiotherapist.
Individuals who meet the inclusion criteria, who volunteered to participate in the study and signed the consent sheet will be randomly divided into two groups, Group 1 [Manual Release (MR)] and Group 2 [Kinesio Taping (KT)].
A simple randomization method will be used with opaque sealed envelopes containing "1" or "2".
Group allocation will be performed by an independent therapist, not involved in the study.
All individuals will be evaluated with timed up-and-go test, heel rise test, 10-meter walking test, and functional reach test before and after the intervention.
Manual release will be applied to group 1 after the evaluation and the evaluations will be repeated immediately the end of the application.
Kinesio taping will be applied to group 2 after the evaluation and the evaluations will be repeated 45 minutes after the end of the application.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
EXPERIMENTAL: Manual release group
Manual release will perform with plantar fascia and flexor hallucis longus stretching and tissue mobilization.
Stretching/mobilization will applied for approximately 3 minutes.
|
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.
|
EXPERIMENTAL: Kinesio taping group
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.
|
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.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Timed up and go test (TUG)
Time Frame: Change from baseline at immediately after one-session treatment
|
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 Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Heel rise test (HRT)
Time Frame: Change from baseline at immediately after one-session treatment
|
The endurance of the gastro-soleus muscle complex is evaluated with the heel rise test.
The number of toe-ups in one minute is determined when the knees of the subjects are in extension.
The results are recorded as the number of repetitions.
|
Change from baseline at immediately after one-session treatment
|
10 meter walk test, walking speed
Time Frame: Change from baseline at immediately after one-session treatment
|
Walking speed is evaluated with the 10 meter walking test.
The test is performed at a comfortable walking pace on a 10 m walk, 14 m walkway for the start (2 m) and finish (2 m).
Measurements are repeated 3 times and the average time is recorded in seconds.
|
Change from baseline at immediately after one-session treatment
|
10 meter walk test, cadence
Time Frame: Change from baseline at immediately after one-session treatment
|
Cadence is evaluated with the 10 meter walking test.
The test is performed at a comfortable walking pace on a 10 m walk, 14 m walkway for the start (2 m) and finish (2 m).
During the 10-meter walk, the number of steps is recorded.
|
Change from baseline at immediately after one-session treatment
|
Functional reach test (FUT)
Time Frame: Change from baseline at immediately after one-session treatment
|
Balance is assessed with the functional reach test.
In the application of the test, the individual is asked to keep his feet open and close to a parallel shoulder-width wall.
The individual have a measuring stick attached to the wall at shoulder level.
The individual is asked to punch his hand and flex his shoulder 90 degrees without touching the wall, and bring the third metacarpal finger joint of his hand to the starting point of the measuring stick.The individual is guided to reach as far as possible without taking a step, without lifting his heels, without bending his knees, and the end point is recorded.
The difference between the starting position and the ending position is measured in cm.
The test is repeated three times and the average of the three measurements is recorded.
