Abstract

Aim. This study aimed to examine the effect of foot posture on spinopelvic alignment in athletic and non-athletic adult males.
Materials and methods. Sixty male participants, aged 18–27 years, including athletes (n = 30) and non-athletes (n = 30), were recruited based on convenience sampling through direct person-to-person contact. Within each group, participants presented with normal arch (FPI 0–5) or flatfoot (FPI 6–10) conditions. Spinal (lumbar lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, vertebral rotation, apical deviation, scoliotic angle, sagittal and coronal imbalance) and pelvic (tilt, torsion, and rotation) parameters were measured using 4D raster-stereography.
Results. Individuals with flatfoot exhibited significantly greater (p < 0.001) sagittal imbalance, pelvic obliquity, vertebral rotation, pelvic torsion DL-DR, pelvic rotation, and coronal imbalance compared to those with normal arches, regardless of whether the participants were athletes or not.
Conclusion. Foot posture variations beyond normal arches, such as pes planus, were associated with altered spinopelvic alignment. These findings highlight the biomechanical implications of foot structure on the orientation of the proximal kinetic chain.
Key words

Abstract Purpose. The current study investigated the immediate and short-term effects of Kinesio taping (KT) on deep neck flexor endurance in healthy adults. Methods. The endurance of the deep neck flexor muscles was measured prior to, immediately following, and three days after KT application in a randomized controlled study involving 68 healthy adults who were blindly assigned to study and control groups. The experimental group was the first group, and the control group was the second. Results. Post-application of Kinesio taping in the experimental group showed a significant difference in the endurance score of the deep neck flexor muscles compared to pre-application, while the control group showed no significant difference. Conclusion. This study demonstrates the short-term and immediate benefits of Kinesio taping on the endurance of the deep neck flexor muscles in healthy adults.
