The aim of this study is determining the effectiveness of combined kinesiotape of lower extremity muscles on functional performance in athletes with chronic ankle instability. In this study, we will compare the effectiveness of combined kinesiotaping of fibularis longus, gluteus maximus and gastrocnemius on lower extremity functional tests, before and after and 24 hours later of using kinesiotape in athletes with chronic ankle instability.
Design
Randomized Placebo-controlled, parallel group trial, single blind,
Settings and conduct
Single blinding in athletes with chronic ankle instability based on receiving actual kinesiotape or placebo kinesiotape
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Athletes with having score less than 25 according to Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT), report at least once the giving way of affected ankle joint in the past year and having unilateral chronic ankle sprain will be included and the subjects with skin allergy when using kinesotape and the existence of swelling in ankle region and positive talar tilt and anterior drawer tests will be excluded.
Intervention groups
Intervention group: The kinesiotape is applied to the skin along the fibularis longus, gastrocnemius, gluteus maximus muscles from the beginning to the end of the muscle (with 35% maximum tension).
Control group: placebo group: The kinesiotape without tension is applied to the skin along the fibularis longus, gastrocnemius,gluteos maximus muscles.
Main outcome variables
Double countermovement vertical jump; Single countermovement jump; Lateral hop test; Single hop test; Star excursion balance test
