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 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 a gentle ankle joint movement technique (called mobilization) can quickly improve how high you can jump. It is done in healthy young adults, so it may help you understand how your ankles contribute to jumping.
This study tests two different types of tape applied to the foot and ankle to see which one better reduces heel pain from plantar fasciitis. The tape may help support the arch and stretch the foot tissue, aiming to decrease discomfort and improve walking.
This trial studies how your brain and spinal cord control your ankle if you have chronic ankle instability (a long-term wobbly ankle). It is for athletes between 18 and 25 who play team sports and have had repeated ankle sprains.
