Effect of Gastrocnemius Strength to be Applicated Low-Dye Taping in Flatfoot with Arch-Recovery Exercise

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to progress the effect of gastrocnemius strength when groups are applicated on low-dye taping group and without taping group of flatfoot with arch-recovery exercise. Methods. Subjects were measured navicular drop test to confirm of 16 university student in J city, low-dye taping group and without taping group were applicated both with arch-recovery exercise, three times per a week for four weeks. The power track were measured four weeks, total 3 times. Comparative analysis of the control group and experimental group were investigated of gastrocnemius strength. Results. The results, we found that after of arch-recovery exercise were significantly increased than before of arch-recovery exercise in each foot. And application of low-dye taping(experimental group) in flatfoot with arch-recovery exercise were significantly increased than control group. Conclusions. In conclusion, the arch-recovery exercise application were effective to low-dye taping significantly increase the gastrocnemius strength of flatfoot.
