Abstract

Background: The pelvic girdle forms a closed kinematic chain with upper and lower quadrants of human musculoskeletal system of which the foot is an integral component. Individuals with excessive calcaneal pronation are susceptible to low back pain due to an exaggerated lumbar lordosis that can result from an internal rotation of tibia & femur. In order to treat this low back pain it becomes essential to correct foot posture .Literature shows the efficacy of low dye calcaneal taping in the correction of excessive calcaneal eversion. There is however scarce evidence available regarding this effect on angle of pelvic tilt & thereby on low back. Hence this study is undertaken. Objectives: To compare the angles of pelvic tilt in individuals with excessive calcaneal pronation before and after Low dye calcaneal taping. Methodology: Angle of pelvic tilt of 30 females with a calcaneal eversion of more than 6 degrees was measured prior to the application of tape. Low dye calcaneal taping was then applied following which the angle of pelvic tilt was were measured again. Data Analysis: Paired t-test was used to compare the mean values of pelvic tilt angle pre and post taping. Results: Significant change in mean pelvic tilt angle was found pre and post calcaneal taping. Conclusion: Immediate change in the angle of pelvic tilt can be obtained by correction of excessive calcaneal eversion with Low dye calcaneal taping. 

Key words: Low back pain; Pelvic tilt; Pronation of foot.
