“…These alterations led to the hypothesis that some ankle orthoses may reduce the ability of the ankle to absorb energy, and thereby increase the dissipation demands of the knee and hip joints. 28 This hypothesis parallels the speculation that the effective protection of the lower leg and ankle by ski boots promotes direct translation of the forces to the knee, 22 thereby explaining the high incidence of knee injury in skiers.…”

“…28 Significant alterations in sagittal plane ankle joint kinematics during drop landings have been documented. 28 Specifically, reduced ankle plantar flexion at ground contact, reduced dorsiflexion during the impact phase of ground contact, and decreased maximum ankle velocity were revealed during testing of several ankle braces and tape. These alterations led to the hypothesis that some ankle orthoses may reduce the ability of the ankle to absorb energy, and thereby increase the dissipation demands of the knee and hip joints.…”

“…8 It was revealed that a tape condition and a tape-spat combination condition led to a significantly higher impact force and a significantly shorter temporal interval to attain the peak impact force than a control condition. Based on the results of the previous study documenting altered sagittal plane ankle kinematics during drop landings, 28 the measured impact force alterations were attributed to the ankle dorsiflexion being impeded by the tape.…”

Study Design: Single-group repeated-measures experimental design. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of prophylactic ankle stabilization on vertical ground reaction forces before and after treadmill jogging. Background: Previous research has demonstrated acute effects of ankle taping and bracing on ankle joint kinematics and vertical ground reaction forces during drop landings. Based on the number of investigations demonstrating increased range of motion of the braced or taped ankle following exercise, it may be plausible that the aforementioned landing alterations may return to normal following an exercise bout. Methods and Measures: Fourteen healthy recreational participants performed stiff and soft drop landings before and after a 20-minute treadmill exercise bout under 3 different ankle stabilizer conditions (no stabilizer, ankle brace, and ankle tape). A forceplate was used to collect ground reaction force data under the dominant foot. The first and second peak impact force, as well as the time to each of the 2 peak forces, were determined for each trial and used as dependent variables. Results: The time to reach peak forces were significantly less under the ankle brace and tape conditions in comparison to the control (no-stabilizer) condition. Conclusions: It appears that ankle taping and bracing decrease the time to reach peak impact forces. These alterations indicate that during dynamic activity the musculoskeletal structures of the body may be subjected to loads within shorter time periods. Whether these effects are detrimental over time remains speculative at this point and requires further research. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther. 2002;32:628-635.

“…instrumentation A 7-camera, 240-Hz motion analysis system (Vicon Motion Systems and Peak Performance Inc, Oxford, UK) was used to obtain the 3-D kinematics during data collection. Anatomical reflective markers were used to define joint centers and placed at the left and right anterior superior iliac spines, superior iliac crests, posterior superior iliac spines, and greater trochanters, and right femoral epicondyle, right medial and lateral malleoli, and the right first and fifth metatarsal (eg, landing 21,25,32,33 and lateral cut 6,18,28 movements), during which ankle sprains typically occur. More recently, Cordova and colleagues 7 showed that a semirigid ankle brace is more effective in reducing rearfoot angular displacement and velocity than a lace-up brace, but the lace-up brace was more effective than no brace.…”

t he ankle joint is the most commonly injured joint during sports participation. 3,13,14,19 The most recent National Collegiate Athletic Association injury data over 16 years (1988)(1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004) showed that ankle ligamentous injuries represent the highest injury rate at 14.9% of all reported injuries in 15 sports, ranging from 2.8% of all injuries for women's ice hockey to 26.6% for men's basketball. 19 Basketball, volleyball, soccer, and lacrosse are among the sports with the highest ankle injury rate. It was reported that up to 80% t Study deSign: Controlled laboratory study.t objectiveS: To examine effectiveness of an ankle brace with a subtalar locking system in restricting ankle inversion during passive and dynamic movements.t background: Semirigid ankle braces are considered more effective in restricting ankle inversion than other types of brace, but a semirigid brace with a subtalar locking system may be even more effective.t MethodS: Nineteen healthy subjects with no history of major lower extremity injuries were included in the study. Participants performed 5 trials of an ankle inversion drop test and a lateralcutting movement without wearing a brace and while wearing either the Element (with the subtalar locking system), a Functional ankle brace, or an ASO ankle brace. A 2-way repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to assess brace differences (P.05).t reSultS: All 3 braces significantly reduced total passive ankle frontal plane range of motion (ROM), with the Element ankle brace being the most effective. For the inversion drop the results showed significant reductions in peak ankle inversion angle and inversion ROM for all 3 braces compared to the no brace condition; and the peak inversion velocity was also reduced for the Element brace and the Functional brace. In the lateral-cutting movement, a small but significant reduction of the peak inversion angle in early foot contact and the peak eversion velocity at push-off were seen when wearing the Element and the Functional ankle braces compared to the no brace condition. Peak vertical ground reaction force was reduced for the Element brace compared to the ASO brace and the no brace conditions. t concluSionS: These results suggest that the tested ankle braces, especially the Element brace, provided effective restriction of ankle inversion during both passive and dynamic movements.

“…Taping helps to protect and support joints while they perform functional movement [21]. Taping can also help increase kinetic stability of movement [22]. According to previous studies on taping in post-stroke patients, during the stance phase gait, application of gluteal taping resulted in improvement in hip joint extension [23].…”

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of treadmill gait training with patellar taping on gait abilities in chronic stroke patients. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: Thirty chronic stroke patients who have been diagnosed at least six months or before were recruited in Gyeongin Rehabilitation Center Hospital, located in Incheon. Patients who were enrolled in this study were randomized to experimental group (n=15) or control group (n=15). Treadmill with patella taping training group patients were applied with patellar taping when they were being trained on a treadmill. Control group patients were being trained on a treadmill without any kind of taping. Gait parameters were measured with a GAITRite Ⓡ system which evaluated gait performances. Gait trainings were done for 30 min/day, 5 days/week, for 4 weeks. Results: After treadmill training, treadmill with patella taping training group showed a significant improvement in gait abilities, including velocity, cadence, paretic and non-paretic step length, and double support period (p<0.05). However, in general treadmill group, there were no significant differences in gait parameters except velocity and cadence. There was a significant difference in gait performance in the experimental group compared with the control group, except for the gait symmetry ratio (p<0.05). Conclusions: According to this result of this study, it seems that application of patellar taping in treadmill gait training for chronic stroke patients significantly improved gait abilities of these patients. Also, we can conclude that patella taping is thought to be useful in real clinical settings where there are many chronic patients who are in need of improvement in their gait abilities.
