One of the pathologies most studied and treated with kinesiotape (KT) is plantar fasciitis (PF). In most of the studies reviewed, it is concluded that there is an improvement in the symptoms of PF when treated with KT: either combined with other therapies or as a single treatment compared to placebo. However, most current studies have limitations because the sample is small, the effect size is small, and the evidence is insufficient or of low quality.

In the present work, the aim is to study the effectiveness of KT in PF, and to compare the results with those obtained in a placebo group, which is treated with tape. The researchers will assess the decrease in symptoms prior to performing other definitive treatments. In addition, the variability of the painful symptoms and the durability of the bandage will be studied, in order to determine whether it can be used in the short or long period of time, being able to take it into account and supposing a supplement to the pharmacological treatment.
