Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Pes planus, sometimes known as flat feet, is one of these disorders and is characterized by a collapsed medial longitudinal arch, hindfoot eversion, and forefoot abduction. Pes planus is a musculoskeletal condition that causes hip, knee, and foot discomfort. According to a descriptive cross-sectional survey, 17% of school-aged children, 64% men and 34% females have flat foot deformity. Talonavicular joint is responsible for translating inversion and eversion movements of the foot. Mobilization of the Talonavicular joint helps in the improvement of joint dysfunction caused by inappropriate or bad posture via the proprioceptors. Rigid tape also known as low dye tape is defined as non-elastic zinc oxide tape used by physical therapists to stabilize a joint and limit movement. The conventional rigid tape is frequently used with non-contractile tissue, which then acts similarly to a ligament to limit joint mobility and prevent joints from moving into dangerous or end range positions.
