“…7 As the ankle reinjury rate is known to be high, it is important to identify specific injury prevention strategies. 1,24 Measures to prevent injury have typically included specific strength training of the fibularis muscles, 26 proprioceptive training, 26,39 and external support, such as braces and nonelastic athletic tape. 2,12,26,39 Tests of postural control have shown that individuals with ankle instability have poorer frontal plane stability than those with unaffected ankles.…”

Study Design Controlled laboratory study. Objectives To examine the effect of 2 adhesive tape conditions compared to a no-tape condition on muscle activity of the fibularis longus during a sudden inversion perturbation in male athletes (soccer, team handball, basketball). Background Ankle sprains are common in sports, and the fibularis muscles play a role in providing functional stability of the ankle. Prophylactic ankle taping with nonelastic sports tape has been used to restrict ankle inversion. Kinesio Tape, an elastic sports tape, has not been studied for that purpose. Methods Fifty-one male premier-league athletes were tested for functional stability of both ankles with the Star Excursion Balance Test. Based on the results, those with the 15 highest and those with the 15 lowest stability scores were selected for further testing. Muscle activity of the fibularis longus was recorded with surface electromyography during a sudden inversion perturbation. Each participant was tested under 3 conditions: ankle taped with nonelastic white sports tape, ankle taped with Kinesio Tape, and no ankle taping. Differences in mean muscle activity were evaluated with a 3-way mixed-model analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the 3 conditions, across four 500-millisecond time frames, and between the 2 groups of stable versus unstable participants. Differences in peak muscle activity and in the time to peak muscle activity were evaluated with a 2-way mixed-model ANOVA. Results Significantly greater mean muscle activity was found when ankles were taped with nonelastic tape compared to no tape, while Kinesio Tape had no significant effect on mean or maximum muscle activity compared to the no-tape condition. Neither stability level nor taping condition had a significant effect on the amount of time from perturbation to maximum activity of the fibularis longus muscle. Conclusion Nonelastic sports tape may enhance dynamic muscle support of the ankle. The efficacy of Kinesio Tape in preventing ankle sprains via the same mechanism is unlikely, as it had no effect on muscle activation of the fibularis longus.

“…Prophylactic proprioception training was shown to reduce injuries in a prospective randomized study of 900 high school basketball players [100]. In patients with frequent ankle sprains, proprioception training was associated with a decreased risk of recurrent ankle instability when compared to use of an orthosis [101]. Prophylactic bracing may be useful as was shown in a prospective study of female volleyball players [102].…”

Purpose of review Ankle sprains, which account for 40% of sports injuries in the USA, can lead to chronic ankle instability. Chronic ankle instability can be classified as functional, mechanical, or a combination of both and is diagnosed using a combination of a physical exam, an MRI, and stress radiographs. This review focuses on different approaches to treatment, including non-operative and operative techniques, of chronic ankle instability, including reviewing traditional procedures as well as more novel and newer techniques. Recent findings Based on existing literature, non-operative treatment should always precede operative treatment of chronic ankle instability. If rehabilitation fails, Brostrom-Gould type ankle stabilization has been the preferred surgical option. Recent literature suggests that arthroscopic repair might reduce recovery time and improve outcomes in certain populations; however, there are higher rates of complication following these surgeries. In more high-risk populations, some literature reports that ligament repair with peroneus brevis transfer could be a more effective treatment option. Summary Currently, varying surgical techniques exist for the treatment of chronic ankle instability. While the more recently reported techniques show promise, it is important to note that there is little evidence showing they are more successful than traditional techniques. It is imperative that future studies focus on outcomes and complication rates of these newer procedures.

Ankle disk training has been shown to significantly reduce the recurrence of ankle sprains (Verhagen et al, 2004).…”

“…According to some authors, more studies need to be conducted on healthy subjects (Stasinopoulos, 2004), and additional preventive strategies need to be developed in order to reduce the impact and cost of rehabilitation (Mckay et al, 2001), since proprioception training can be used to prevent the initial injury (Diamond, 1989).…”

a b s t r a c tBackground: Balance training is often employed for the prevention of ankle injuries. However, until now, most of the studies have focused on the prevention of a recurrent injury. The objective of this study was to look into the effects of balance training on the onset of peroneal muscle activity in healthy subjects. Methods: 34 participants (mean age ¼ 19.5 years AE 1.5; height ¼ 1.70 m AE 0.12; weight ¼ 62.06 kg AE 11.24), physically active, with no history of injuries took part in this study. The participants underwent a 4-week balance training program using an ankle disk. Onset of peroneal muscles activation was measured using surface electromyography and a trap-door. Findings: Parametric and non-parametric tests showed no significant differences between the control group and the experimental group (P > 0.05). Interpretation:The results indicate that the use of balance training, for a 4-week period with two training sessions per week, on physically active subjects with no history of injuries in the ankle joint, does not cause noteworthy changes on the onset of peroneal muscles activity.
