Metatarsophalangeal Joint Sprain Kinesiotaping

August 5, 2023 updated by: Maged Basha, Qassim University

Kinesiology Taping Helps Patients With First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Sprain

kinesio taping would reduce pain, improve gait performance, and enhance the functional capacity of turf toe patients undergoing physical therapy

Detailed Description

Health practitioners have recently become interested in using kinesiology taping in clinical practice as an alternative to traditional taping and bracing procedures for treating a variety of diseases, including sprain of metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe. Patients with turf toe can benefit from kinesiology tape because it offers therapeutic support and stability while preserving a normal range of motion.

  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: exercise group
60-minutes exercise program, three times a week on alternate days for 12 successive weeks.
Other: Traditional physical therapy program
60-minutes exercise program, three times a week on alternate days for 12 successive weeks
Other Names:
  • exercise program
Experimental: placebo kinesiology taping plus exercise group
Kinesiology taping was used, however the strain was zero. Before each exercise session, the tape was changed every two days while the patients were present.
Other: Traditional physical therapy program
60-minutes exercise program, three times a week on alternate days for 12 successive weeks
Other Names:
  • exercise program
Other: placebo Kinsio taping
One full strip of kinesiology taping tape and one half-length strip were needed for the placebo kinesiology taping application
Other Names:
  • placebo kinesiology taping
Experimental: kinesiology taping plus exercise group
putting no stress on the opposite end and a 50% stretch from the top of the big toe to the heel along the back of the heel. After applying a 50% stretch from the top of the big toe to the second horizontal little strip between the big toe and second toe, place the ends below the toe diagonally with no stress.
