Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests the immediate effects of Kinesio taping (an elastic tape placed on the skin) around the knee and ankle on balance and joint position sense in volleyball players. It may help reduce the risk of ACL knee injuries.

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 trial tests whether kinesiology tape (a special elastic tape) applied around the ankle helps improve the way the lower leg moves and how well you function during sports, specifically for female athletes who have had long-term ankle instability. If you join, you'll get taped and have your movements measured.
This study tests whether adding Kinesio taping (a stretchy tape placed on the skin) to standard rehabilitation can improve balance and trunk control in people who have had a stroke. It may help you feel more stable and move better during recovery.
This study tests whether special therapeutic tape (kinesiotape) can help reduce pain and improve function in people with meniscus injuries in the knee. The meniscus is a piece of cartilage that cushions your knee, and this trial sees if the tape can help your body heal without surgery.
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.
