A Comparative Study of Kinesiology Taping Versus Taping in the Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis (Taping)

Plantar fasciitis is a very studied pathology and treated with taping. There are studies that assess the effectiveness of Kinesio taping, as well as taping or low-dye taping, few studies that compare the two treatments and assess which is more effective.

In the present work the effectiveness of Kinesio taping and taping will be assessed, as well as whether possible differences among intervention effects exist in terms of pain improvement, comfort and durability of the bandage.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Visual Analogue Scale of Pain	It is rated on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain and 10 is extreme pain.	seven days
comfort	Comfort is rated on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is no comfotable and 10 is very comfortable	seven days
Visual Analogue Scale of Mobility	the degree of MOBILITY that the foot has had when using the bandage, rated from 0 no mobility to 10	seven days
Visual Analogue Scale of comfort	The degree of COMFORT IN HYGIENE of the bandage: (for example at the time of showering or personal hygiene), rated from 0, no comfort to 10, maximum confort	seven days
