Abstrakt: Purpose: We planned to study with Kinesio taping (KT) which can be used to overcome these negative, to determine immediate effect on functionality with static and dynamic balance in healthy young people using heeled shoes. Methods: Thirty healthy female students who used heel shoes between ages of 18-24 were included in study. Static and dynamic balance assessed with Techno Body Postural Line; functionality assessed with vertical jump, functional reach and 6-min walk test. Individuals were randomly divided into 2 groups of 15 subjects. Study group was taped medially, laterally and dorsally with KT, no application was made to control group. Results: The mean age was calculated as 20.33 ± 1.83 years in control group and 20.20 ± 0.94 in study group. Usability of high heels was 8.4±2.47 hours per day, 4.73±1.53 days per week, 4.2±2.3 years in the study group while 7.3±2.55 hours per day, 3.73±1.03 days per week, 3.73±2.15 years in control group. There were an increase in functional reach, 6-minute walking and vertical jump distance but no statistical difference after KT in study group (p>0.05). There was significant difference between control and study groups in open-eyed stabilometric test and disequilibrium test evaluating dynamic equilibrium (p<0.05). We found significant difference in right one-foot balance, left one-foot balance and disequilibrium test after KT (p<0.05). Conclusions: It has been shown that kinesiological taping can be effective in preventing and treating balance and functional problems associated with use of high heels but there is a need for long-term and more number of case studies.
