Taping for ankle instability in athletes
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether taping can change how pressure is distributed on your foot while playing sports. It may help if you have long-term ankle instability from past sprains.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You've had at least one significant ankle sprain.
- The first sprain happened at least 12 months ago.
- Your ankle sometimes gives way or feels unstable, or you've had repeat sprains.
- You score 24 or less on a special ankle questionnaire (the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool).
- You haven't had any leg or foot surgery, or a fracture that needed realignment.
- You haven't had any new leg injury in the past 3 months that limited your activities.
