Journal: Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, vol. Keywords: Conservative treatment, efficacy, plantar fasciitis, review, taping More research is needed to investigate long-term effect and effectiveness of specific taping techniques. The best evidence exists for low dye taping and calcaneal taping. CONCLUSION:We found that in the short-term, taping is beneficial in treating plantar fasciitis. The most common technique was low dye taping. All eight studies favored the use of different taping techniques. Two studies were high quality two were moderate quality and four were of poor methodological quality. RESULTS:Five randomized control trials, one cross-over study and two single group repeated measures studies met the inclusion criteria. The methodological quality of interventional studies was evaluated inter alia by the PEDro score. Controlled trials of any methodological quality were included, without any language restrictions.
