Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Kinesio taping group (KT)
Kinesio taping applied to plantar soles of these children with Down Syndrome. Epidermis-Dermis-Fascia technique was used for providing sensory input from soles.
The application was performed on both feet.
Kinesio taping
For the fascia technique, one part of the band which were divided by 4 fans is adhered on Achilles tendon to the heel with a 0% stretch. Then the plantar fascia was stretched by the examiner and the toes were extended (ankle dorsiflexion, toe extension) and the divided part of the band was applied toward the metatarsal heads with paper-off technique (5-15%).
Sham taping group (ST)
A random taping was performed using Kinesio tape but without using Kinesiotaping techniques for sham taping. The application was performed on both feet
Sham taping
''I'' bant were cut from the middle point of the Achilles tendon to the metatarsal heads. The band was applied from the Achilles tendon to the metatarsal heads without any stretching of plantar fascia and band.
Healty control group
This group took no intervention but all balance assessments once.
No interventions assigned to this group
