Effect of Achilles tendon taping on gait parameters in people with high BMI

The cadence, step length, and stride length of high BMI adults decreases, and effect of taping as an alternative may improves these gait parameters. Sample are chosen according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and permission is taken from all sample. Every subject will conduct a 10 m walk test using the Gait Analyzer app to determine gait parameters. The Achilles tendon taping is done. Gait parameters is measured before and after taping.

高身体质量指数（Body Mass Index, BMI）成人的步频、步长与跨步长均会下降，而作为替代干预手段的跟腱贴扎疗法可改善此类步态参数。本研究的样本依据纳入与排除标准进行筛选，并已获得所有受试者的知情同意。每位受试者将使用步态分析应用程序（Gait Analyzer app）完成10米步行测试以测定步态参数，随后为受试者实施跟腱贴扎操作，并分别在贴扎前后测量其步态参数。
