Effects of Taping on Balance, Agility, and Weight-Bearing Characteristics in Individuals With Subtalar Pronation
Turkey (Türkiye)20 participantsStarted 2024-06-01
Plain-language summary
Subtalar pronation (SP) is a common foot alignment problem. It can disturb the normal movement of the ankle and affect different physical functions.
In clinics, taping is often used both to correct the foot position and to help the muscles work more effectively.
However, there are no studies examining the combined effect of corrective dynamic taping and kinesio taping in people with SP.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of these two taping methods on balance, agility, and weight transfer in individuals with SP.
In this study, 10 people with SP were included in the treatment group and 10 people with SP were included in the control group.
Assessments were performed before taping and 45 minutes after the application. The results were statistically compared both within each group and between the groups.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
