ABSTRACT

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to determine the immediate effect of low-Dye taping on balance performance in subjects with flexible flatfoot. Methods : Fifteen asymptomatic volunteers who had flexible flatfoot(mean±SD age, 21.7±1.81years; height, 164.80±7.57cm; weight, 56.47±10.48kg) were participated for this study. Navicular drop test was used to evaluate pronation of foot in three different conditions; non-weight bearing position without low-Dye taping, weight bearing position without low-Dye taping, weight bearing position with low-Dye taping. And balance performance(anterio/posterior, medial/lateral, and overall) was evaluated using the Biodex Balance System in three different conditions; one-leg standing without low-Dye taping, one-leg standing with low-Dye taping, and one-leg standing with low-Dye taping in one week later. Repeated-measures analysis of variance(ANOVA) was used to assess navicular height and balance performance across the three testing conditions. Results : Significant and clinically meaningful improvement in navicular height was found after application of the low-Dye taping. However, there was no statistically significant change in balance performance. Conclusion : The results of this study provide evidence to suggest that low-Dye taping does not affect balance performance.
