“…Joint position sense values did not change significanty after kinesiotaping in this study, again in line with a number of previous research [4,10,[23][24][25]. It should be also noted that, there was no significant difference between CAI and control groups' baseline scores of joint position sense.…”

This study was designed to investigate the effects of kinesio tape (KT) on functional performance of female basketball players with and without chronic ankle instability (CAI). The players with (n = 15) and without ankle instability (n = 16) were enrolled. KT was applied with tension in the instability group and without tension in the control group. Before KT application, 30 minutes and 48 hours after application; muscle strength and endurance were tested in plantar flexion and dorsiflexion, joint position sense was measured in ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion using a dynamometer. Dynamic postural stability was evaluated with a balance system between the levels of 12-4. Vertical jumping heights were measured by jump-meter. The results were statistically assessed by SPSS 19 version. In CAI group, dynamic postural stability showed statistically significant improvement in both legs overall (P < 0.0001), antero-posterior (P < 0.004) and medio-lateral indexes (P < 0.009). CAI group showed significant improvements in one-leg postural stability overall, antero-posterior and medio-lateral indexes after 48 hours (P < 0.011, P < 0.022, P < 0.038, respectively). Joint position sense, vertical jump height and muscle strength and endurance were also compared in both groups, and there was no significant difference between the groups. Postural stability indexes were decreased by supporting function of KT to the ankle. As a result, we can say that KT has a beneficial effect on maintaining posture by correcting standing kinematics in cases with CAI. We may suggest that KT can be utilized in preventing the injuries in CAI.

“…A few investigators 8,12,15,16 have looked at the effects of KT on balance in people with CAI and, surprisingly, found no improvements. One major difference between these studies and ours is the length of time the KT remained on the skin before BESS testing.…”

“…Both groups concluded that KT had no effect on balance. Shields et al 16 left the tape on for 24 hours. What is interesting about their study is that the authors identified minor balance improvements but concluded they were not clinically meaningful.…”

“…Other groups [16][17][18] evaluating postural sway during quiet standing or singlelegged-balance tests have noted more promising results. In each study, small yet potentially clinically meaningful improvements were identified in balance after tape application.…”

“…Many authors performed the posttest immediately after tape application; however, when participants wore the tape for 1 to 2 days, the outcome measure improved. 8,16 Clinically, we apply the tape for multiple days, so it makes sense to design a research study that also continues the intervention for multiple days.…”

Context Participants with chronic ankle instability (CAI) have been shown to have balance deficits related to decreased proprioception and neuromuscular control. Kinesiology tape (KT) has been proposed to have many benefits, including increased proprioception. Objective To determine if KT can help with balance deficits associated with CAI. Design Cohort study. Setting Research laboratory. Patients or Other Participants Thirty participants with CAI were recruited for this study. Intervention(s) Balance was assessed using the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS). Participants were pretested and then randomly assigned to either the control or KT group. The participants in the KT group had 4 strips applied to the foot and lower leg and were instructed to leave the tape on until they returned for testing. All participants returned 48 hours later for another BESS assessment. The tape was then removed, and all participants returned 72 hours later to complete the final BESS assessment. Main Outcome Measure(s) Total BESS errors. Results Differences between the groups occurred at 48 hours post–application of the tape (mean difference = 4.7 ± 1.4 errors, P < .01; 95% confidence interval = 2.0, 7.5) and at 72 hours post–removal of the tape (mean difference = 2.3 ± 1.1 errors, P = .04; 95% confidence interval = 0.1, 4.6). Conclusions The KT improved balance after it had been applied for 48 hours when compared with the pretest and with the control group. One of the most clinically important findings is that balance improvements were retained even after the tape had been removed for 72 hours.

Effect of Elastic Taping on Postural Control Deficits in Subjects With Healthy Ankles, Copers, and Individuals With Functional Ankle Instability

Abstract: Ankle instability is a concern for many clinicians. Kinesio Taping, although a popular form of clinical intervention, remains understudied. Evidence from this study does not support the use of Kinesio Taping for improving postural control deficits in those with ankle instability.
