About this study
Official title: Effect of Corrective Calcaneal Kinesiology Tape on Pain, Function and Sonographic Picture of Plantar Fasciitis in Adolescents With Pronated Foot
The aim of this study is to find the effect of a program of corrective kinesiotaping on pain intensity, foot function, and the sonographic picture of plantar fascia in adolescents with pronated feet.This study hypothesizes that there will be a statistically significant effect of a program of application of the corrective technique of kinesiotaping on plantar heel pain, foot function, and the sonographic picture of plantar fascia in a sample of Egyptian adolescents suffering from pronated feet.
Read the detailed description
This study will be conducted to find the effect of a program of corrective kinesiotaping on pain intensity, foot function, and the sonographic picture of the plantar fascia in adolescents with pronated feet. Thirty adolescents suffering from plantar heel pain associated with pronated feet will be included in this study. They will be distributed randomly into 2 groups: Group A will receive corrective kinesiotaping (50-75% stretch) for 6 weeks, 2 times per week with 1 day of rest; Group B will receive a home program of intrinsic foot strengthening and stretching exercises. Data will be collected pre- and post-intervention for all groups by using the visual analog scale (VAS), the first two subscales of the foot function index (FFI), and a sonographic picture of the foot for each adolescent. Participants will be recruited from outpatient clinics and schools.

|---|---|---|
| Group A | Experimental | Group A: will receive corrective kinesiotaping (50-75% stretch) for 4 weeks, 2 times per week, with 1 day rest Receives: Device: Corrective Kinesiology taping |
| Group B | Active comparator | Group B will receive a home program of intrinsic foot strengthening and stretching exercises. Receives: Other: Home exercise program |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pain Visual Analogue Scale
minimum score is 0, and the maximum score is 10 ; higher scores means worse outcome
Measured: 4 weeks

Foot function Index
This questionnaire has been designed to give therapists information on how foot pain has affected your ability to to manage in everyday life. each question on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable)
Measured: 4 weeks
