The Effects of Kinesiotaping on Balance in Children With Down Syndrome.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study aimed to explore the effects of Kinesio tape applied to plantar soles on balance in children with Down Syndrome (DS). Two groups including children with DS and a group with their typically developing peers evaluated. Half of the children with DS took Kinesio tape application to the plantar soles and the other half took sham taping application. All children evaluated with dynamic and static balance measurements and DS children evaluated immediately after taping and 45 minutes after taping again with the same measurements.

Clinical Trial Description

Balance is one of the most problematic issues in children with DS. Mechanoreceptors of plantar region of the foot helps to regulate human erect posture and balance. Studies shows that inputs from foot sole give a positive effect in improving balance both in healthy and neurologically demaged subjects. Kinesio tape is a supportive method in physiotherapy with it's proprioceptive input giving effects. It is aimed to show the acute effects of Kinesio tape on balance parameters in children with DS. ;
