Summary

Soccer is a sport that attracts many participants and leads to a substantial number of injuries, especially of the ankle. Enhancement of functional joint stability by kinesio taping proprioceptive training may be important both in prevention and rehabilitation of ankle injuries. The main aim of this study was to determine the effect of kinesio taping and proprioceptive exercises on parameters related to ankle stability, such as the injury incidence, pain, static or dynamic stability and flexibility, in amateur soccer players training 3 times a week.

Conditions

  • Injury of Musculoskeletal System

Interventions

OTHER

Kinesio taping

Kinesio taping technique was used on both ankles on the first day of training with the aim of functional and mechanical correction, following the method described by Duenas et al. It was removed on the second day of training. This procedure was repeated each week for one month.

OTHER

Proprioceptive exercises

Proprioceptive exercises were performed twice a week for one month. They were incorporated into their normal training routine (twice per week), and included 20 min of standardised proprioceptive exercises: single leg balancing on stable surfaces, on bosu/togu balls, and hopping activities, all repeated with eyes open/closed.
