The Inman ankle machine was modified to determine plantarflexion, dorsiflexion, inversion neutral, eversion neutral, plantarflexion inversion, and plantarflexion eversion before taping, immediately after taping, and with tape after a 2.5- to 3-hour football practice. The previously uninjured feet and ankles of 16 college-age football players were used. All were tape by the same method. A single-tailed paired-sample t-test was done to determine the minimun amount of restriction that could be expected for each motion after the exercise period. Ninety percent confidence intervals between untaped versus taped preexercise, untaped versus taped postexercise for all motions were determined. Inversion neutral, plantarflexion inversion, and eversion neutral had an average residual restriction after exercise of 50%, or greater than the initial restriction prior to exercise. plantarflexion, dorsiflexion, and plantarflexion eversion loosened significantly greater than 50%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
