ClinConnect Summary

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. An...
