IRCT20211018052805N1 IRCT 2021-11-17 Tehran University of Medical Sciences Evaluation of the effectiveness of Kinesio tape on flexible flatfoot Comparison Between Effects of Tibialis Posterior Kinesio Taping and Fibularis Longus Kinesio Taping on Dynamic Components and Foot Posture in Young Individuals with Flexible Flatfoot 2021-12-13 anticipated 30 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/59492 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: After the initial assessments, the people will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups of tibialis posterior Kinesio taping and fibularis longus Kinesio taping (method: simple randomization - unit: individual). An envelope containing blue paper and another envelope containing red paper (randomization tool: sealed envelope) will be given to each person. Each person choosing the envelope containing blue or red paper will be assigned to the tibialis posterior Kinesio taping group or fibularis longus Kinesio taping group, respectively, Blinding description: The study will be single-blinded. In this way, the participants do not know to which group they will be allocated. However, the therapist assessing the outcome measures and the data analyzer know each participant’s group. N/A Flexible Flatfoot. Intervention 1: Intervention group 1: For the tibialis posterior muscle Kinesio taping, the person lies in a supine position and actively dorsiflexes and everts the ankle, and at the same time, Kinesio tape will be applied on the muscle. Kinesio taping will be started from the half of the tibia bone, passing behind the medial malleolus. Ultimately the Kinesio taping process will be finished at the fifth metatarsal head after passing over the navicular bone. A piece of I-shaped tape (TEMTEX, South Korea) with 35 percent tension plus no tension at both ends will be used. Then, people will rest for 30 minutes in a sitting position. After 30 minutes, reevaluation will be performed. A physical therapist will apply Kinesio tape for all of the people. Intervention 2: Intervention group 2: For the fibularis longus muscle Kinesio taping, the person lies in a supine position and actively plantarflexes and inverts the ankle, and at the same time, Kinesio tape will be applied on the muscle. Kinesio taping will be started from the fibular head, passing behind the lateral malleolus. Ultimately the Kinesio taping process will be finished at the first metatarsal base. A piece of I-shaped tape (TEMTEX, South Korea) with 35 percent tension plus no tension at both ends will be used. Then, people will rest for 30 minutes in a sitting position. After 30 minutes, reevaluation will be performed. A physical therapist will apply Kinesio tape for all of the people. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: All data is potentially shareable after making individuals unidentified. When: The access period starts three months after the articles are published. To whom: For researchers working in academic, scientific, and hospital institutions Conditions: It's for researchers who work in the field of lower limb biomechanical impairments and the field of Kinesio tape. Where to obtain: Applicants for documentation can contact Mr. Alireza Tahmasbi via email: ar-tahmasebi@razi.tums.ac.ir How to obtain: Once they have the necessary criteria, the information will be provided to them within a month.
