Effects of Kinesio Taping on Plantar Fascia and Ankle Function (KT-PF)

27. August 2026 aktualisiert von: Yasemin Şahbaz, University of Beykent

The Effects of Different Kinesio Taping Techniques on Plantar Fascia Stiffness, Balance, and Ankle Joint Position Sense in Healthy Young Adults

This randomized controlled study aimed to compare the short-term effects of three different kinesio taping techniques on plantar fascia elasticity, dynamic balance, and ankle joint position sense in healthy young adults. A total of 120 participants aged 18-25 years were randomly assigned to facilitation kinesio taping, ankle stabilization taping, or sham taping groups. Plantar fascia mechanical properties were assessed using MyotonPRO, dynamic balance was evaluated with the modified Star Excursion Balance Test (mSEBT), and joint position sense was measured using the active angle reproduction method. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, 24 hours, and 48 hours after tape application.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Kinesio taping is commonly used to improve neuromuscular control, proprioception, and lower-extremity biomechanics. However, the comparative effects of different kinesio taping techniques on plantar fascia mechanical behavior and functional performance remain unclear. This study was designed as a prospective randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of facilitation kinesio taping, ankle stabilization taping, and sham taping on plantar fascia elasticity, dynamic balance, and ankle joint position sense.

A total of 120 healthy young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 years participated in the study. Participants were randomly allocated into three intervention groups. Group 1 received facilitation kinesio taping, Group 2 received ankle stabilization taping, and Group 3 received sham taping. Plantar fascia viscoelastic properties including frequency, stiffness, relaxation time, and creep were evaluated using the MyotonPRO device. Dynamic balance performance was assessed using the modified Star Excursion Balance Test (mSEBT), and ankle joint position sense was evaluated using the active angle reproduction method with the Dr.Goniometer application.

Measurements were performed at baseline, 24 hours, and 48 hours after tape application. The primary objective of the study was to determine whether different kinesio taping methods produce different short-term effects on plantar fascia elasticity and lower-extremity function.

Ergebnis Maßnahme
Maßnahmenbeschreibung
Zeitfenster
Change in plantar fascia frequency measured by MyotonPRO
Zeitfenster: Baseline, 24 hours after intervention, and 48 hours after intervention
Plantar fascia frequency will be assessed using the MyotonPRO device. The measurement evaluates the oscillation frequency of the plantar fascia tissue following mechanical impulse application. Measurements will be performed at baseline, 24 hours, and 48 hours after kinesio taping intervention.
Baseline, 24 hours after intervention, and 48 hours after intervention
Change in plantar fascia stiffness measured by MyotonPRO
Zeitfenster: Baseline, 24 hours after intervention, and 48 hours after intervention
Plantar fascia stiffness(N/m) will be assessed using the MyotonPRO device. The measurement represents the resistance of plantar fascia tissue to external mechanical deformation. Measurements will be performed at baseline, 24 hours, and 48 hours after kinesio taping intervention.
Baseline, 24 hours after intervention, and 48 hours after intervention
Change in plantar fascia decrement measured by MyotonPRO
Zeitfenster: Baseline, 24 hours after intervention, and 48 hours after intervention
Plantar fascia decrement will be assessed using the MyotonPRO device. Decrement represents the mechanical damping characteristics and elasticity of the plantar fascia tissue. Measurements will be performed at baseline, 24 hours after intervention, and 48 hours after intervention.
Baseline, 24 hours after intervention, and 48 hours after intervention
Change in plantar fascia relaxation time measured by MyotonPRO
Zeitfenster: Baseline, 24 hours after intervention, and 48 hours after intervention
Plantar fascia relaxation(ms) time will be assessed using the MyotonPRO device. Relaxation time represents the time required for the tissue to return toward its baseline mechanical state after mechanical deformation. Measurements will be performed at baseline, 24 hours, and 48 hours after kinesio taping intervention.
Baseline, 24 hours after intervention, and 48 hours after intervention
Change in plantar fascia creep measured by MyotonPRO
Zeitfenster: Baseline, 24 hours after intervention, and 48 hours after intervention
Plantar fascia creep(De) will be assessed using the MyotonPRO device. Creep represents the gradual deformation behavior of plantar fascia tissue under mechanical loading. Measurements will be performed at baseline, 24 hours, and 48 hours after kinesio taping intervention.
