Summary

The goal of this study is to investigate whether there exists a difference in baropdometric readings of plantar pressure between individuals with chronic ankle instability and normal health individuals, in addition another goal of this study is to investigate the effect of rigid taping vs. kinesio taping on plantar pressure distribution as well as stability markers in individuals with chronic ankle instability.

The main questions aimed to answer are:

1. Is there a difference in plantar pressure distribution between individuals with chronic ankle instability and individuals without chronic ankle instability?
2. What effect do rigid and kinesio taping have on plantar pressure distribution and ankle stability markers?
3. Which tape affects plantar pressure distribution and ankle stability better?

Participants will:

Firstly be divided into two macro groups, one with chronic ankle instability and one without, with an observational part of the study to be carried out to investigate the differences in plantar pressure between both groups.

Secondly, the group with chronic ankle instability will be divided into two micro groups one receiving rigid taping and the other receiving kinesio taping, and the immediate effects of these tapes in terms of plantar pressure and ankle stability will be recorded and compared before and after within groups, and after between both groups.

Interventions

OTHER

Rigid Taping

It is usually light brown or beige and is designed to hold firm, making it ideal for providing support or stability to a joint.

OTHER

Kinesio-Taping

Kinesio Taping Method is a therapeutic tool utilised by rehabilitation specialists in all programs. Kinesio Taping Method utilises four types of Kinesio Tex Tapes, each with specific properties designed for use on fragile, sensitive skin or applied with higher tensions.

OTHER

Sham Taping

Sham taping is the use of any type of tape in a random and ineffective fashion for the purposes of comparison with other taping techniques and types.
