Official Title: The Effects of K-Tape on Walking Pattern, Muscle Activity, and Motor Performance in Children With and Without Developmental Coordination Disorder: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Brief Summary: To investigate the effects of K Tape on walking pattern, muscle activity and motor performance in children with and without developmental coordination disorder (DCD).

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: The University of Hong Kong

Current Primary Outcome: Change in lower limb muscle activation as measured by electromyography [ Time Frame: Day 1 and day 2 (ms) ]

Post K Tape lower limb muscle activity - pre K Tape lower limb muscle activation


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Change in balance performance as measured by force plate [ Time Frame: Day 1 and day 2 ]
    Post K Tape balance performance - pre K Tape balance performance
  • Foot posture as assessed by clinical observation [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 2 ]
  • Body composition as assessed by DXA [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 2 ]
  • Change in walking pattern as assessed by a motion analysis system [ Time Frame: Day 1 and day 2 ]
    Post K Tape walking pattern - pre K Tape walking pattern


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
