This trial studies how your brain and spinal cord control your ankle if you have chronic ankle instability (a long-term wobbly ankle). It is for athletes between 18 and 25 who play team sports and have had repeated ankle sprains.
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.
This study tests whether different types of kinesio tape (a flexible tape placed on the skin) can improve balance, ankle function, and jumping ability in healthy young adults. It may help you if you are a physiotherapy student looking to understand how taping affects movement.
This study compares two different taping methods to see which one helps improve balance in children with cerebral palsy. It may help your child with walking and moving more safely.
This study explores whether kinesio taping can improve how long you can do heel raises and how well your calf muscle uses oxygen. It might help if you have mild ankle instability.
This study tests whether kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape placed on the back) can improve posture and balance in people with an exaggerated upper back curve (hyperkyphosis). It may help you if you have poor posture or back pain and meet the age and curve requirements.
