A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of short foot exercises and anti-pronation taping in reducing low back pain associated with foot hyper-pronation. Participants will engage in either short foot exercises combined with conventional physical therapy or receive anti-pronation taping along with conventional therapy. The study will assess improvements in back pain, range of motion, and overall posture. By focusing on the relationship between foot mechanics and low back pain, the trial seeks to provide insights into effective treatment strategies.
