简要总结
Obesity is one of the most dangerous factors affecting the joints, which must be prevented due to arthritis and the long-lasting, tiring effects that affect a person's life [1], The most important of these are foot problems due to weight and excess pressure, It is also one of the factors that greatly affects walking movement because it increases the load on joint movement, This increases the risk of musculoskeletal diseases.
详细描述
It had been reported that obese subjects have a higher prevalence of falls and ambulatory stumbling or a loss of balance than their non-obese counterparts. Excess weight increases the stress within the bones, joints, and soft tissues, resulting in impaired musculoskeletal function. such as abnormal mechanics of the body. These impairments, such as impaired balance, gait, strength, sensory function, and neuromuscular function have been identified as strong risk factors for falls.
Participants that are eligible to participate to the study will be distributed into two groups: Group A will receive ankle kinesiotaping on the dominant leg. While, Group B will receive placebo kinesiotaping on the dominant leg. The treatment duration will be 6 weeks for both groups.

结局指标
主要结局
Static balance
时间窗: 6 weeks
Single leg stance test: It is used for assessment of static balance. The participants will be instructed to close their eyes, stand barefoot on the dominate and then on non-dominant leg, and elevate the other limb so that it is close to but not touching the ankle of the limb on which they are stanced. The individual will be told to cross her arms over her chest before lifting the limb. The length of time the person can stand on one leg will be timed by the investigator using a stopwatch.
次要结局
- Dynamic balance(6 weeks)
- Single leg hop test(6 weeks)
- Single leg vertical jump(6 weeks)
