- Brief 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.

Group Intervention Description placebo group exercise Tape application will be applied in the placebo group as it was in the experimental group. Kinesiology taping will be attached horizontally without tension along the Tensor Facie Late line. The application to the ankle will be attached horizontally without tension slightly above the lateral malleolus. placebo group placebo Tape application will be applied in the placebo group as it was in the experimental group. Kinesiology taping will be attached horizontally without tension along the Tensor Facie Late line. The application to the ankle will be attached horizontally without tension slightly above the lateral malleolus. control group exercise In the control group, only the exercise program was applied and the first and last measurements will be compared. experimental group exercise In the experimental group, kinesiology taping will be applied twice a week for 8 weeks together with exercise. Kinesiology taping was first applied by closing the malleoli from the upper part of the foot, and stretching it to the anterior capsule of the foot using the ligament technique. For the second tape, it covered the plantar area under the malleolus and was attached in the form of stirrups. During the application, the tape will be applied with full tension on the malleolus and 50-75% tension will be applied on the other parts. experimental group exercise and taping In the experimental group, kinesiology taping will be applied twice a week for 8 weeks together with exercise.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Calcaneo-tibial angle measurement 10 weeks The calcaneo-tibial angle measurement is a method used in the general evaluation of the foot. By measuring this angle, it is checked whether the problems in the foot are related to the rear foot. Normal values in this measurement are eversion angles between 4° and 8°. During the evaluation, the angle between the axis passing through the middle of the calcaneus and the place where the Achilles tendon attaches to the calcaneus will be measured, while the patient is in the prone position, not putting weight on his foot. Measurements will be made again while standing on the ground. Each measurement will be repeated 3 times. The differences between the results obtained during standing and prone lying will be calculated. The measurements will be averaged and recorded.
Navicular bone drop test 10 weeks This assessment method evaluates midfoot mobility and medial longitudinal arch depression. In this method, the measurements should be between 5-9 mm. Before the evaluation, the height of the tubercle of the navicular bone will be measured in meters in millimeters, while the patient is in a sitting position, not putting weight on his feet. Then, the patient will be lifted up, and the patient will be asked to give equal weight to both feet in an upright position, and the measurement will be repeated 3 times. The average of the measurements will be recorded after they are taken. After the measurement, the difference between standing and in bed will be found.
