Brief Summary

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

The aim of our study is to examine the effect of using kinesiology tape and using it for 8 weeks on Q angle and pes planus on children with cerebral palsy.

Detailed Description

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

At the beginning of the study, the pes planus level of the children will be determined. Then randomization will be made and divided into 3 groups with equal number of participants. The groups will be called control, experiment, and placebo. Only physiotherapy will be applied to the control group, kinesio taping and physiotherapy to the experimental group, and damask taping and physiotherapy to the placebo group. The study will be followed for 8 weeks, and pre- and post-intervention data were statistically analyzed and compared.

Study Groups

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

control group

In the control group, only the exercise program was applied and the first and last measurements will be compared.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Exercise protocol:

Progressive Resistance Exercise Training Bridge exercise sit-up exercise functional walking exercise Stretching

experimental group

In the experimental group, kinesiology taping will be applied twice a week for 8 weeks together with exercise. Kinesiology taping was first applied by closing the malleoli from the upper part of the foot, and stretching it to the anterior capsule of the foot using the ligament technique. For the second tape, it covered the plantar area under the malleolus and was attached in the form of stirrups. During the application, the tape will be applied with full tension on the malleolus and 50-75% tension will be applied on the other parts.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type OTHER

Exercise protocol:

Progressive Resistance Exercise Training Bridge exercise sit-up exercise functional walking exercise Stretching

exercise and taping

Intervention Type OTHER

When applying kinesiology taping to the gluteus medius, first of all, for its anterior fiber, the tape portion will be attached lateral to the Spina iliaca anterior superior by giving a slight slope downwards from the crista iliaca with 50-75% tension. For the posterior fiber; Starting from the trochanter major, 50-75% tension will be applied along the muscle fiber.

placebo group

Tape application will be applied in the placebo group as it was in the experimental group. Kinesiology taping will be attached horizontally without tension along the Tensor Facie Late line. The application to the ankle will be attached horizontally without tension slightly above the lateral malleolus.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Intervention Type OTHER

Exercise protocol:

Progressive Resistance Exercise Training Bridge exercise sit-up exercise functional walking exercise Stretching

placebo

Intervention Type OTHER

In the placebo tape application, the kinesiological tappings will be adhered horizontally without tension along the long line of the Tensor facie late muscle. The application to the ankle will be attached horizontally, without tension, slightly above the lateral malleolus.
