Summary

This study evaluates whether the use of Kinesio Tape® in combination with a standard exercise program improves muscle function in individuals with chronic ankle instability. Twenty participants will receive Kinesio Tape® and perform an ankle exercise program, while twenty will perform the ankle exercise program without Kinesio Tape®.

Conditions

  • Neural Inhibition
  • Injuries, Ankle

Interventions

DEVICE

Kinesiotaping

The application of Kinesio Tape® (kinesiotaping) according to the guidelines provided by the Kinesio Taping Association (Kase, K. 2016). A 5 cm width strip of Kinesio Tape® (Kinesio TEX Products, NKT-050, Japan) will be applied from origin (the head of the fibula) to insertion (the medial cuneiform and first metatarsal) of the peroneus longus in a longitudinal direction. The proximal anchors will be applied without tension, and the Kinesio Tape® placed on approximately 50% stretch before being applied over the peroneus longus and the distal anchor point.
