Clinical Trial Summary

The effects of Kinesio-taping and rigid-taping on vertical jump performance have been investigated; however, results remain unclear.

Description:

The effect of Kinesio-taping and rigid-taping on controlling foot pronation remains unclear due to contradicted results. Moreover, to our knowledge, there is not any study to elucidate the effect of rigid-taping on vertical jump performance. Therefore, the investigators hypothesised that rigid-taping would be more effective on vertical jump performance because of its direct mechanical correction in pes planus, and the study was aimed to compare the effects of Kinesio-taping and RT on vertical jump performance in sedentary adults with pes planus.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Vertical Jump	The jumping performance of each participant was evaluated using the VertiMetric (Lafayette Instrument Company, Lafayette, IN) device.	2 minutes
Primary	Foot Posture	Foot Posture Index is used for clinical diagnostic purposes that evaluate whether a foot is in pronation, supination, or normal posture. The sum of six-item scores between 0-5 are interpreted as normal foot, scores of 6-12 as pes planus, and scores <0 as pes cavus.	10 minutes
Secondary	Physical Activity	The physical activity levels of the participants were evaluated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire.	3 minutes
