“…T h e significant loss in restricted motion following exercise for the SS is also consistent with previously cited studies regarding the effects of exercise on ankle tape a p plications (8,12,14,15,18). Readers should recognize that the exercise protocol used in this study was rather brief in duration.…”

“…Discussions with clinicians indicate that athletic tape is still commonly used to provide prophylactic support of the foot and ankle in spite of the results of previously reviewed research (8,12,14,15,18). O n e of the current investigators (GBW) has developed an athletic taping procedure for the foot and ankle.…”

T he relatively high incidence of ankle sprain in.juries (3-5) has prompted research related to the effects of ankle or-[hoses on joint motion. T h e appreciable inqxict ankle sprain in.juries have on athletic participation (2,5,16) and routine daily activities (20) has stimulated the development of external support systems intended to provide protection against these injuries. Previous studies suggest that the restriction of ankle range of motion (ROM) provided by conventional athletic tape configurations decreases significantly with brief periods of exercise (8,12.14,15,18). Additionally, no restriction of ROW mav he provided by conventional ankle taping following 1 hour of vigorous exercise ( I 5). Elastic ankle support guards may provide no restriction of ROM before o r after exercise ( 1 5). A laced cloth ankle orthosis demonstr~ted a significant loss in the ability to restrict ankle motion following a brief period of exercise (6).

“…Two custom-designed electric goniometers 27 were used to measure angular displacement of the ankle. A 2708 single-turn 10 KOhm potentiometer (Clarostat, Mexico City, Mexico) at each axis of rotation enabled the goniometer to measure range of motion to a tenth of a degree.…”

Contralateral force sense deficits are related to the presence of functional ankle instability

Residual symptoms that often follow lateral ankle sprains can lead to functional ankle instability. Proprioceptive deficits have been identified as one factor that may contribute to the presence of functional ankle instability. Sixty participants were recruited to participate in the study. Seven questions were used to determine the presence of functional ankle instability in each participant. A point was added for each ''yes'' response to produce an index that represents an interval data scale of functional ankle instability. Contralateral force sense and active joint reposition sense were measured in all participants. Pearson product moment correlations were calculated to determine the relationship between functional ankle instability and force sense and active joint reposition sense. We found a significant relationship with force sense and functional ankle instability. Specifically, force sense variable error at both test forces (10 and 30% of maximal voluntary isometric contraction) were positively correlated to the presence of functional ankle instability, r ¼ 0.26; p 0.05 and r ¼ 0.25; p 0.05, respectively. All other force sense correlations were not statistically significant. No significant correlations were identified between active joint reposition sense and functional ankle instability. This study indicates that participants with functional ankle instability have deficits in low load force sense, but not active joint reposition sense. ß

“…11,13,16 Many different methods have been proposed for accurate measurement of this theoretical position, which represents the midpoint between subtalar pronation and supination. In 1977, Root et al 15 proposed a method of calculating the STJN position from inversion and eversion of the subtalar joint using a protractor.…”

Study Design: Single-group repeated measures design pre-and postintervention. Objectives: To determine if the modified low-Dye medial longitudinal arch (MLA) taping procedure places the subtalar joint into the neutral position and maintains the subtalar joint neutral (STJN) position following 10 minutes of walking. Background: Subtalar malalignment in excessive pronation is commonly accepted as a contributing factor to a variety of musculoskeletal pathologies. The modified low-Dye MLA taping procedure is often used on the plantar surface of the foot as a short-term corrective tool for excessive foot pronation. However, research that evaluates the efficacy of this taping technique during light exercise is lacking. Measurement of navicular height is commonly used as a measure of subtalar position. Methods and Measures: Prior to the study, one tester-established reliability in the navicular drop technique measurement by initially practicing the measurements on 400 feet, followed by a reliability study performed on 29 subjects. In this study, a screening procedure excluded subjects with ankle or foot pathology, supinated feet, or neutral feet, and included only subjects with pronated feet. The study, which included 40 subjects, involved four steps: (1) measuring navicular height in the relaxed position; (2) measuring navicular height in the STJN position; (3) measuring navicular height after application of the modified low-Dye MLA taping procedure; and (4) measuring navicular height after subjects had walked for 10 minutes with the taping. Results: Results indicated an intrarater intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for measuring navicular height of 0.96 for the right foot and 0.94 for the left foot. Repeated measures ANOVA revealed that significant differences existed (P Ͻ 0.05) among the 4 measures. A Bonferroni post hoc analysis showed a difference between relaxed stance measurements and all other measurements, and between taped-prewalking measurements and taped-postwalking measurements. In addition, no significant difference was observed between navicular height measured in STJN and the taped-prewalking and taped-postwalking conditions. The average navicular height for the taped-prewalking condition was 1.6 mm higher than that for the STJN position. For the taped-postwalking condition, the average height of the navicular was 1.2 mm lower than that of the STJN position.

E-mail: holmesc@mail.uca.edu Conclusion: These results demonstrate that the modified low-Dye MLA taping procedure places the subtalar joint near the neutral position. Despite a significant reduction in the height of the navicular after the subjects walked for 10 minutes with the tape on, the height of the navicular was still not significantly different than that of the STJN position.
