About this study
Official title: Comparison of the Effects of Low-Dye and Kinesio Taping Methods in Plantar Fasciitis
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Low-Dye and Kinesio Taping on pain and function in individuals with plantar fasciitis.
Read the detailed description
Subject: In this study, the effects of Low-Dye Taping and Kinesio Taping (KT) on pain and function will be investigated in individuals with plantar fasciitis. There are studies on both Low-Dye banding and KT in the literature and they are popular applications recently. However, to the best of our knowledge, when we look at the Turkish and English literature, no study has been found comparing these two therapeutic massages in terms of pain, functionality and performance.
Purpose: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a clinical picture characterized by degeneration of the plantar fascia resulting from repetitive microtrauma to the plantar fascia causing an inflammatory reaction. It is one of the most common causes of heel pain in adults. The plantar fascia has a fundamental role in the biomechanics of the foot, supporting the medial longitudinal arch (MLA), distributing forces and stresses of the foot during gait or other loading conditions. Disorders in the musculoskeletal and somatosensory system in patients with plantar fasciitis may cause pain and decrease in functional capacity. Therefore, its purpose is; This study was planned to show the effectiveness of taping methods applied in addition to ESWT in individuals presenting with heel pain. Thanks to the findings to be obtained from our study, it is aimed to contribute to the literature with objective, evidence-based results in this field.

Kinesio TapingOther
After ESWT application, Kinesio Taping will be applied 3 times, once a week.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Low-Dye Taping | Experimental | In addition to the ESWT applied to the participants in the control group, Low-Dye Taping will be applied to the participants in this group once a week for 3 sessions. Receives: Device: Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT); Other: Low-Dye Taping |
| Kinesio Taping | Experimental | In addition to the ESWT applied to the participants in the control group, Kinesio Taping will be applied to the participants in this group once a week for 3 sessions. Receives: Device: Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT); Other: Kinesio Taping |
| Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) | Active comparator | Participants in the control group will receive 3 sessions of ESWT once a week. Receives: Device: Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change from baseline in Pain at 3 Session
A visual analog scale (VAS) numbered 0-10 will be used in the assessment of pain.
Measured: Changes in the VAS scores of the three groups before the treatment
Change from baseline in Pain at 3 Session
In functional evaluation, the scale developed by The American Orthopaedic Foot \& Ankle Society (AOFAS) will be used.
Measured: Changes in the AOFAS scores of the three groups before the treatment
