Summary

This study looked at whether combining two types of tape (corrective dynamic taping and kinesio taping) could improve balance, agility, and weight transfer in people with excessive subtalar pronation (flat feet). Twenty adults aged 18-35 with this foot condition were split into a treatment group and a control group. Researchers measured their balance and agility before and 45 minutes after applying the tape. The goal was to see if the taping could help correct foot position and improve physical function.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Kinesio taping and corrective dynamic taping
What this could lead to
If effective, this taping combination could offer a simple, non-drug way to improve balance and agility in people with foot pronation.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, completed study with only 20 participants and no long-term follow-up. Results may not apply to everyone, and the effects were measured only 45 minutes after application.
