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 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 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 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.
This trial compares two types of leg exercises to see which better helps athletes with chronic ankle instability that did not heal with usual rehab. You would do resistance training alone or combined with jumping exercises.
