Summary

Question:Does kinesiotaping(KT) reduce oedema, pain, disability and increase range of joint motion on patients with acute ankle ligament injuries? Design:Two-group, randomised, controlled trial with blinded assessors. Participants:This study included 240 patients with acute ankle sprain.The patients were randomised using randomisation software and divided into two groups each comprising 120 patients.

Intervention:Tape and splint were kept on the patients for 5 days. Outcome measures:The following parameters were evaluated before and after treatment: circumference measurement for severity of oedema(metatarsophalangeal joint,ankle circumference,5cm above the ankle,10cm above the ankle),visual analog scale(VAS) pain score,range of motion(ROM) for the ankle with goniometer and disability level via the Foot Function Index (FFI).

Conditions

  • Ankle Sprains

Interventions

OTHER

Kinesio taping

In patients in the splint group, 16-18 layers of cotton gauze (15-cm cast gauze) were applied from the tip of the toes to the beginning of the fibula. Following the gauze application, short leg splint application was performed in a neutral ankle position.
