An interventional study of Corrective Kinesiology taping and Home exercise program in Physical Disability and Physical Therapy Modalities, sponsored by Beni-Suef University. Enrolling by invitation at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 12 Years to 18 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-04-17.

The aim of this study is to find the effect of a program of corrective kinesiotaping on pain intensity, foot function, and the sonographic picture of plantar fascia in adolescents with pronated feet.This study hypothesizes that there will be a statistically significant effect of a program of application of the corrective technique of kinesiotaping on plantar heel pain, foot function, and the sonographic picture of plantar fascia in a sample of Egyptian adolescents suffering from pronated feet.
This study will be conducted to find the effect of a program of corrective kinesiotaping on pain intensity, foot function, and the sonographic picture of the plantar fascia in adolescents with pronated feet. Thirty adolescents suffering from plantar heel pain associated with pronated feet will be included in this study. They will be distributed randomly into 2 groups: Group A will receive corrective kinesiotaping (50-75% stretch) for 6 weeks, 2 times per week with 1 day of rest; Group B will receive a home program of intrinsic foot strengthening and stretching exercises. Data will be collected pre- and post-intervention for all groups by using the visual analog scale (VAS), the first two subscales of the foot function index (FFI), and a sonographic picture of the foot for each adolescent. Participants will be recruited from outpatient clinics and schools.
223 studies on the registry are indexed under Fasciitis, Plantar; 58 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 30 is below the median of 56 across 194 interventional studies indexed under Fasciitis, Plantar.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Group A: will receive corrective kinesiotaping (50-75% stretch) for 4 weeks, 2 times per week, with 1 day rest
Device: Corrective Kinesiology taping
Group B will receive a home program of intrinsic foot strengthening and stretching exercises.
Other: Home exercise program
corrective kinesiology tape is a form of biomechanical tape that is used with specific tension to get a corrective effect
Also known as: Kinesiotape
Intrinsic foot strengthening and stretching exercises
Pain Visual Analogue Scale
minimum score is 0, and the maximum score is 10 ; higher scores means worse outcome

Ran from Dec 2023 to primary completion in Jul 2024, 7 months.
Of 104 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Fasciitis, Plantar, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 21. This study's 7 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 109 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 22.
