Summary
The aim of the study was to assess the effect of kinesio taping and kinesiotherapy on the dynamic gait parameters of preschool children with hyperpronation syndrome. A total of 30 children (age 5.4 ± 0.4 years) with bilateral valgus heel (9.5° ± 2.4°) participated in the study. The children were randomly assigned to one of three groups: experimental group with kinesio taping, experimental group with kinesiotherapy, and control group without therapy. Dynamic gait parameters were evaluated using a dynamic treadmill Rehawalk® (h/p/cosmos®, Germany) before therapy and after three months of therapy. Due to the significant reduction in pronation in the subtalar joint in both experimental groups following therapy, the hindfoot became more stable at the expense of a reduced shock absorption ability, but with better conditions for transfer of load and push-off. In the kinesio taping group the push-off after therapy was more dynamic thanks to the firmer stabilisation of the hindfoot. In the kinesiotherapy group there was a reduction in the force loading of the midfoot as well as in the overall time of loading of this area and the forefoot area. Kinesio taping and kinesiotherapy could become effective methods in the treatment of hyperpronation syndrome in preschool children.
