Summary

The aim of our study is to examine the effect of using kinesiology tape and using it for 8 weeks on Q angle and pes planus on children with cerebral palsy.

Detailed description

At the beginning of the study, the pes planus level of the children will be determined. Then randomization will be made and divided into 3 groups with equal number of participants. The groups will be called control, experiment, and placebo. Only physiotherapy will be applied to the control group, kinesio taping and physiotherapy to the experimental group, and damask taping and physiotherapy to the placebo group. The study will be followed for 8 weeks, and pre- and post-intervention data were statistically analyzed and compared.

Conditions

• Cerebral Palsy
• Pes Planus

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	exercise	Exercise protocol: Progressive Resistance Exercise Training Bridge exercise sit-up exercise functional walking exercise Stretching
OTHER	exercise and taping	When applying kinesiology taping to the gluteus medius, first of all, for its anterior fiber, the tape portion will be attached lateral to the Spina iliaca anterior superior by giving a slight slope downwards from the crista iliaca with 50-75% tension. For the posterior fiber; Starting from the trochanter major, 50-75% tension will be applied along the muscle fiber.
OTHER	placebo	In the placebo tape application, the kinesiological tappings will be adhered horizontally without tension along the long line of the Tensor facie late muscle. The application to the ankle will be attached horizontally, without tension, slightly above the lateral malleolus.
