Immediate effect of ankle balance taping on dynamic and static balance of soccer players with acute ankle sprain

Abstract

[Purpose] This study aimed to evaluate the immediate effect of ankle balance taping on balance ability of soccer players with acute ankle sprain. [Subjects and Methods] This study was conducted with 16 subjects who were diagnosed with ankle sprain. A cross-over randomized design was used. Each subject performed three interventions in a random order. Subjects were randomly assigned to an ankle balance taping, placebo taping, and no taping. For dynamic and static balance, ability was measured using BIORescue (RM Ingenierie, Rodes, France). Limit of stability, sway length and sway speed for one minute were measured. [Results] The Limit of Stability, Sway length and Sway speed differed significantly among the three different taping methods. [Conclusion] In this study, we found that ankle balance taping was effective in terms of improving balance ability of soccer players with an ankle sprain.

Kinesio taping does not improve ankle functional or performance in people with or without ankle injuries: Systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Forty-five studies investigating the effect of Kinesio taping on balance of four different populations were included and the tools/analyses used were the star excursion balance test, 26 –41 center of pressure behavior (force plate), 32,42 –52 stabilometer devices 53 –62 or errors during postural control (flamingo test, ballet movements, hop test, Balance Error Scoring System and single-legged stance). 26,39 –41,51,63 –69 Meta-analyses were carried out for healthy and older people, and people with chronic ankle instability.…”

Assessing the effect of prophylactic ankle taping on ankle and knee biomechanics during landing tasks in healthy individuals: A cross-sectional observational study

“…However, several studies have reported the benefits of balance with the use of other ankle bandages, such as kinesiology tape in healthy individuals and athletes. 47 , 48 This disparity in results could be explained by the fact that different material properties affect the somatosensory outcomes or provide greater elasticity range. 48 In this context, disturbances in motor control, poor balance, or lack of neuromuscular aptitudes have been described as predictors of risk of injury in the lower limb.…”

Consequently, all these aspects must be edconsideration before implementation of bracing or AT approaches in healthy individuals.…”

Literature Review: Hubungan Dynamic Balance Terhadap Resiko Terjadinya Cedera Pada Pemain Sepak Bola

“…Meskipun basket dapat dibandingkan dengan sepak bola dalam beberapa aspek, ada beberapa perbedaan berdasarkan kinerja yang mungkin menjelaskan perbedaan dalam hasil studi. Pada jurnal ke empat yang berjudul "Immediate effect of ankle balance taping on dynamic and static balance of soccer players with acute ankle sprain" yang ditulis oleh (Shin and Kim, 2017) yang hasilnya adalah Limits of stability (LOS) ukuran keseimbangan dinamis meningkat secara signifikan dibandingan dengan placebo taping dan tidak menggunakan taping. Penerapan Ankle Balance Taping yang menggunakan kinesiology tape secara instan meningkatkan kemampuan keseimbangan statis dan dinamis pemain sepak bola dengan ankle sprain.…”
