Kinesiotaping for ankle stability in female athletes
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests if kinesiotaping helps women with chronic ankle instability walk and run better. It may reduce the feeling that your ankle is giving way.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Women aged 18 to 24 years old
- You have had an ankle sprain at least one year ago and still feel unstable
- Your ankle has given way at least twice in the last 6 months
- You have not had any ankle or leg surgery that affects balance
- You are not allergic to kinesiology tape

This study looks at how ankle instability affects movement control in athletes. If you have chronic ankle problems, you might help researchers understand how to improve treatment and prevention.
This study tests whether wrapping a special floss band around the ankle, combined with exercise, helps people with chronic ankle instability feel more stable and function better. It may be an option for young adults who have had ankle sprains or giving-way episodes for at least six months.
This trial tests a new ankle training program for people with chronic ankle instability who are physically active. It aims to improve ankle function and reduce the risk of future injuries.
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 kinesio taping can improve balance and ankle position sense in healthy young adults. If you are between 18 and 25, have no ankle or knee injuries in the last year, and no chronic health issues, you may qualify.
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.
