Tape for volleyball players: testing balance and ACL injury risk
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special type of medical tape (kinesio taping) placed on the knee and ankle can improve balance and body awareness in volleyball players, with the goal of reducing ACL injury risk. You will likely have your balance and movement measured before and after the tape is applied.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have been a licensed volleyball player for at least 5 years
- You have not had a leg or foot injury (like a sprain or broken bone) in the last 6 months
- If you are female, you must be in your menstrual cycle during the study

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.
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.
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.
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 if taping the ankle can help judo athletes have more balanced legs when jumping. You'd do jumps with and without tape to see if it makes a difference.
