Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyse the plantar pressure pattern, contact time, stride rate and impact acceleration in the shank during walking with and without Kinesio Tape (KT®) placed on two muscle groups: Peroneus and Triceps surae. Methods: 29 subjects (12 men, 17 women) participated in the study. KT® was placed on the triceps surae and peroneus and participants walked at two different speeds (V1: 0.73 m/s; V2:1.30 m/s) with and without KT®. The pedobarographic system Biofoot IBV® 6.0 was used to analyse plantar pressure (mean peak pressure [kPa]) in 5 foot areas and the kinematic variables of the study (contact time [s]; stride rate [steps/min]). One uni-axial accelerometer (Sportmetrics®) was placed on the shank for the impact loading analysis. Results: No significant difference was observed on plantar pressure (p>0.05), and kinematics variables (p>0.05) between the KT® and noKT® conditions. However, results revealed a relationship of dependence between speed and plantar pressure and kinematics parameters, especially under the rearfoot and the medial part of the foot (p<0.005). Conclusion: The results suggest that application of KT® on peroneus and triceps surae does not have a direct effect on the kinematic pattern of healthy individuals during walking.
