Efectos del tratamiento con Kinesio tape en el pie plano

We made pre-post-intervention measurements (24 hours) of perceived pain with visual analogue scale (VAS) and degrees of pronation rear foot with Perthes Ruler in 15 subjects (13 women, 2 men). The results showed that the subjects perceived a statistically significant decrease in their pain after treatment (P<0.05). However, a statistically significant change was not observed in rearfoot pronation (P≥0.05). Similarly, no statistically significant differences were observed between gender or degrees of obesity in pre-post intervention measures of perceived pain and the degree of pronation rearfoot. In conclusion, the results obtained in this study suggest that Kinesio tape application for 24 hours over tibialis posterior muscle in subjects with flat feet can decrease pain in the area but not the degrees of rearfoot pronation.
