IRCT2016042327554N1 IRCT 2016-06-12 Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Vice Chancellor for Research and Technology The effefct of kinesiotaping and stretching of gastrocnemius muscle on postural control Comparing the Effect of Kinesiotaping and stretching of Gastrocnemius Muscle on Postural Control of elderly and youth 2016-03-19 anticipated 80 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/22544 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment. N/A Postural Control. Intervention 1: Intervention (Youth Group): Gastrocnemius Stretching: In this study, the Gastrocnemius muscle will be stretched for 60 seconds by 4 times. The 10-second rest periods will be included. Intervention 2: Intervention (Youth Group): Gastrocnemius Kinesiotaping : The subject will be prone and a “Y strip” of Kinesiotaping (KT) was applied. Some of the beginning of the tape will be attached on the plantar surface of the foot without any tension. Then the ankle joint will be held in dorsiflexion passively for Gastrocnemius stretching.The Tape will be applied on Achilles tendon with 25% tension. The end points of tape will be just above the popliteal fold without any tension. KT method will be used based on Kinesiotaping international guidelines. Intervention 3: Intervention(Elderly Group): Gastrocnemius Stretching: In this study, the Gastrocnemius muscle will be stretched for 60 seconds by 4 times. The 10-second rest periods will be included. Intervention 4: Intervention(Elderly Group): Gastrocnemius Kinesiotaping: The subject will be prone and a “Y strip” of Kinesiotaping (KT) was applied.
