Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

As a result of glycation of collagen fibers in diabetes mellitus, an increase in thickness and stiffness is observed in the plantar fascia, which is a connective tissue. These changes in the plantar fascia affect the windlass mechanism of the foot, normal range of motion and foot plantar pressure distribution. These biomechanical effects may cause the development of diabetic foot ulcers in the later stages of the disease. We hypothesis that myofascial release technique and kinesiology taping methods have an effect on plantar fascia stiffness and plantar pressure distribution in diabetic patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the immediate effects of the two methods on the stiffness of the plantar fascia and foot sole pressure distribution in diabetic patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Diabetes Mellitus Kinesiology Taping Group

Kinesiology tape will be applied to the left foot of the participants in diabetes mellitus group.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Kinesiology Taping Appliying

Intervention Type OTHER

Kinesiology tape will be applied to left foot plantar fascia of the participants in diabetes mellitus and control group.

During taping, participants will lie in the prone position while the knee joint will be kept 90 degrees of flexion and the ankle joint in a neutral position. A "Palm Shape" taping procedure will be applied to the plantar fascia.

Kinesiology Taping Control Group

Kinesiology tape will be applied to the left foot of the healthy participants in the control group.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Kinesiology Taping Appliying

Intervention Type OTHER

Kinesiology tape will be applied to left foot plantar fascia of the participants in diabetes mellitus and control group.

During taping, participants will lie in the prone position while the knee joint will be kept 90 degrees of flexion and the ankle joint in a neutral position. A "Palm Shape" taping procedure will be applied to the plantar fascia.

Diabetes Mellitus Myofascial Release Group

Myofascial Release Technique will be applied to the right foot of the participants in diabetes mellitus group.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Myofascial Release Technique Appliying

Intervention Type OTHER

Myofascial release technique will be applied (during 5 minutes) to right foot plantar fascia of the participants in diabetes mellitus and control group

During appliying technique, participants will lie in the prone position while the knee joint will be kept 90 degrees of flexion and the ankle joint in a neutral position.

Myofascial Release Control Group

Myofascial Release Technique taping will be applied to the right foot of the healthy participants in the control group.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Myofascial Release Technique Appliying

Intervention Type OTHER

Myofascial release technique will be applied (during 5 minutes) to right foot plantar fascia of the participants in diabetes mellitus and control group

During appliying technique, participants will lie in the prone position while the knee joint will be kept 90 degrees of flexion and the ankle joint in a neutral position.
