Brief Summary

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

It is stated that abnormal lower extremity posture and biomechanics are effective in the development and progression of Low Back Pain (LBP). Exercise, electrotherapy, insoles, and orthoses are used for the prevention and treatment of low back pain.The use of orthosis, insoles, and taping techniques stands out in the correction of foot posture and dysfunctions, which are stated to cause LBP. In studies examining the application of taping to improve foot posture and biomechanics, it is stated that taping is effective in improving foot posture and biomechanics in the short term.

Biomechanical taping has been used in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders in recent years. It is aimed to correct the impaired joint biomechanics by reducing the load on the joint, supporting strength, and providing movement modification.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this study, it is assumed that correction of "increased foot pronation" with dynamic taping will result in the recovery of increased internal rotation and decreased shock absorption during weight-bearing, which is stated to cause pain. The study aims to investigate the effects of biomechanical tapping in combination with a home exercise program on LBP.

Participants with a diagnosis of LBP and bilateral increased flexible foot pronation will divide into two groups (Biomechanical Taping (BT) group or Placebo Taping (PT) group). Tape applications will repeat twice per week, for 4 weeks. And also a home-based exercise program will apply to both groups.

Study Groups

Biomechanical Taping

Anti pronation taping will apply bilaterally with Dynamic Tape®. The tape will attach to the dorsal aspect of the foot.

A home-based exercise program will apply in the first session. Printouts showing the exercises will give to the patients. Exercises will be done at home for 4 weeks, 5 d/w.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Taping

Intervention Type OTHER

Tape applications will repeat twice per week, for 4 weeks.

Placebo Taping

Placebo Taping will apply bilaterally to each individual in the control group by the same physiotherapist, without any effect on increased pronation.

A home-based exercise program will apply in the first session. Printouts showing the exercises will give to the patients. Exercises will be done at home for 4 weeks, 5 d/w.
