Summary

The Objective is to examine the immediate and prolonged effects (seven days) of Kinesio® Tape (KT) on balance in subjects with chronic ankle instability using Computerized dynamic posturography (CDP). Design. A 7 days follow-up, single-blind randomized controlled trial. Setting. University community. Participants. A sample of 30 subjects aged 18 to 28 with CAI and subjective perception of ankle instability (FAI) was enrolled in this study. Interventions. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group in which was applied KT, and a control group in which was applied a placebo tape.Objective.

Participants were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group in which was applied KT, and a control group in which was applied a placebo tape. Main Outcome Measure(s). The CDP device employed in this study was Smart Equitest® version 8.2. CDP analysis was conducted using the Sensory organization test (SOT). The composite SOT score (COMP) and the composite SOT strategy (STR), the partial score for SOT condition 2 (SOT 2) and its strategy (STR 2) were considered as outcomes measures.

Conditions

  • Ankle Sprain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

taping of ankle sprain

All participants were taped for a lateral ankle sprain. The individual is in supine position keeping the foot and ankle in a neutral position. The strip (I) is applied with not stretch in the outside of the leg just above the ankle, and then the rest of the strip is applied on the outside of the ankle and under the heel.
