Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanical effects of different taping methods on foot mechanics during gait.

Hypothesis: We hypothesized that material compliance would influence effectiveness, with longitudinal rigidity reducing arch motion.

Impact: Mechanical control of the arch may help recovery from plantar fasciitis.
