No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of the present study was to establish whether Kinesio Tape (KT) on the ankle (Kase protocol for the lateral ankle ligament) improves Joint Position Sense (JPS) in healthy volunteers immediately after its application and 48 hours later.

Conditions

  • Sprains and Strains

Interventions

DEVICE

Kinesio tape

The KT used was Kinesiology Tape® of 5 cm and it was applied according to Kase protocol (Kase K). The first layer of tape consisted of a single strip placed over the anterior talofibular ligament from insertion to origin, with a 50% tension, except the two-centimetre proximal and distal ends, applied with no tension. The same procedure was repeated for the calcaneofibular ligament and posterior talofibular ligament
