PURPOSE: This study aimed to examine the effects of low-dye taping on paretic side plantar pressure in patients with plantar fasciitis. SUBJECTS: The 30 patients in this study were randomly allocated to a low-dye taping group (n = 15) or a conservative treatment group (n = 15). METHODS: Both groups received treatment thrice a week for six weeks. BioRescue was used to measure the weight distribution of the patients' paretic side. RESULTS: Within-group comparison showed that the posterior weight distribution significantly increased among patients in both groups. However, comparison between the two groups showed that the low-dye taping group's posterior weight distribution was significantly higher than that of the conservative treatment group. CONCLUSION: These findings show that the application of low-dye taping is an effective intervention for paretic-side plantar pressure among patients with plantar fasciitis.
