Kinesio taping for heel-raise endurance in young adults
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 25 years old.
- You have mild ankle instability, based on a standard questionnaire score of at least 28.
- You are not sedentary (you get some exercise each week) and are not an elite athlete.
- You have never sprained your ankle or had a broken leg or ankle surgery.
- You do not have a neurological or balance disorder.

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 trial tests if a special taping technique (calcaneal kinesiology tape) can help teenagers who have flat feet and heel pain from plantar fasciitis. It aims to reduce pain and improve foot function.
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 a special athletic tape applied to your calf muscle affects how well the muscle uses oxygen, your pain sensitivity, and muscle function. Researchers want to understand if this tape could help with muscle performance and comfort.
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.
