Comparison of Kinesio-Taping and Rigid-Taping on Vertical Jump in Individuals With Pes Planus

August 31, 2023 updated by: Cyprus International University

A Randomised Crossover Comparison of Kinesio-Taping and Rigid-Taping on Vertical Jump in Individuals With Pes Planus

The effects of Kinesio-taping and rigid-taping on vertical jump performance have been investigated; however, results remain unclear.

Detailed Description

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Kinesio-taping Group
Kinesio® Tex GoldFP (USA) was applied on both feet in the prone position with the knee extended, and the feet in a slightly plantar flexed position and hanging off the bed. The first Kinesio-taping was cut as an I shape and prepared for the transverse arch ligament correction technique. The non-stretched starting anchor was attached to the dorsum of the 5th metatars on the lateral side of the foot, passed from the plantar surface to the medial side with 75-100% tension. The non-stretched end was attached to the medial side of the ankle over the navicular region. The non-stretched initial anchor of the second Kinesio-taping strip starting from the proximal dorsal of the 5th. metatarsal on the lateral side of the foot.
Other: Taping
Kinesio taping and Rigid taping was applied.
Experimental: Rigid-taping Group
Low dye bandage technique was used with a 3.8 cm wide rigid band (Leuko® Sportstape Premium, Germany) for rigid taping. Rigid taping was performed on both feet in the subtalar neutral position while participants in the prone position with their heels and feet out of the bed. The taping protocol described elsewhere was followed. 21 To optimise rigid tape adhesion, feet were washed and dried before taping. To increase consistency, the same researcher (MU) applied all taping.
Other: Taping
Kinesio taping and Rigid taping was applied.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Vertical Jump
Time Frame: 2 minutes
The jumping performance of each participant was evaluated using the VertiMetric (Lafayette Instrument Company, Lafayette, IN) device.
2 minutes
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.
10 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Physical Activity
Time Frame: 3 minutes
The physical activity levels of the participants were evaluated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire.
