“…Joint position sense values did not change significanty after kinesiotaping in this study, again in line with a number of previous research [4,10,[23][24][25]. It should be also noted that, there was no significant difference between CAI and control groups' baseline scores of joint position sense.…”

This study was designed to investigate the effects of kinesio tape (KT) on functional performance of female basketball players with and without chronic ankle instability (CAI). The players with (n = 15) and without ankle instability (n = 16) were enrolled. KT was applied with tension in the instability group and without tension in the control group. Before KT application, 30 minutes and 48 hours after application; muscle strength and endurance were tested in plantar flexion and dorsiflexion, joint position sense was measured in ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion using a dynamometer. Dynamic postural stability was evaluated with a balance system between the levels of 12-4. Vertical jumping heights were measured by jump-meter. The results were statistically assessed by SPSS 19 version. In CAI group, dynamic postural stability showed statistically significant improvement in both legs overall (P < 0.0001), antero-posterior (P < 0.004) and medio-lateral indexes (P < 0.009). CAI group showed significant improvements in one-leg postural stability overall, antero-posterior and medio-lateral indexes after 48 hours (P < 0.011, P < 0.022, P < 0.038, respectively). Joint position sense, vertical jump height and muscle strength and endurance were also compared in both groups, and there was no significant difference between the groups. Postural stability indexes were decreased by supporting function of KT to the ankle. As a result, we can say that KT has a beneficial effect on maintaining posture by correcting standing kinematics in cases with CAI. We may suggest that KT can be utilized in preventing the injuries in CAI.

“…A few investigators 8,12,15,16 have looked at the effects of KT on balance in people with CAI and, surprisingly, found no improvements. One major difference between these studies and ours is the length of time the KT remained on the skin before BESS testing.…”

“…One major difference between these studies and ours is the length of time the KT remained on the skin before BESS testing. Bicici et al 15 evaluated balance immediately after KT application, whereas Hettle et al 12 left the KT on for 20 minutes. Both groups concluded that KT had no effect on balance.…”

Context Participants with chronic ankle instability (CAI) have been shown to have balance deficits related to decreased proprioception and neuromuscular control. Kinesiology tape (KT) has been proposed to have many benefits, including increased proprioception. Objective To determine if KT can help with balance deficits associated with CAI. Design Cohort study. Setting Research laboratory. Patients or Other Participants Thirty participants with CAI were recruited for this study. Intervention(s) Balance was assessed using the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS). Participants were pretested and then randomly assigned to either the control or KT group. The participants in the KT group had 4 strips applied to the foot and lower leg and were instructed to leave the tape on until they returned for testing. All participants returned 48 hours later for another BESS assessment. The tape was then removed, and all participants returned 72 hours later to complete the final BESS assessment. Main Outcome Measure(s) Total BESS errors. Results Differences between the groups occurred at 48 hours post–application of the tape (mean difference = 4.7 ± 1.4 errors, P < .01; 95% confidence interval = 2.0, 7.5) and at 72 hours post–removal of the tape (mean difference = 2.3 ± 1.1 errors, P = .04; 95% confidence interval = 0.1, 4.6). Conclusions The KT improved balance after it had been applied for 48 hours when compared with the pretest and with the control group. One of the most clinically important findings is that balance improvements were retained even after the tape had been removed for 72 hours.

“…Many studies have attempted to present evidence of the use of elastic tape as a preventive measure in chronic ankle instability, but Briem et al 2 point out that its effect is contradictory due to the fact that sometimes the tape does not act on fibular muscles, that are important stabilizers of this joint. According to the study by Hettle et al 17 , the use of KT did not demonstrate significant effects on the (SEBT), showing that KT seems to be irrelevant to improve functional performance of chronically unstable ankles.…”

Introduction: Basketball is a sport that requires good motor coordination as well as intense and multidirectional movements. Chronic ankle instability affects about 40% of patients who have sustained a sprain injury. In order to minimize the effects of this dysfunction, functional elastic tape has been widely used due to its mechanical properties, having some positive effects on athletes’ functional performance. Objective: To evaluate the effect of elastic tapes on the ankles of basketball players with and without chronic instability. Method: Thirteen athletes from a varsity basketball team of both sexes, aged between 18 and 30 years (23.2 ± 3.2 years), who had been playing the sport for at least one year and trained at least twice a week. The subjects were assessed using the anterior drawer test for the presence or absence of chronic ankle instability and in three different situations: placebo, elastic tape and control, and the order of use of the implements was randomly determined, using the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) to assess the ankle stability of these athletes. Results: Among the eight directions proposed in the SEBT, there was statistical significance in the difference in three directions for the placebo method in comparison to elastic taping and control. There was no statistical significance in the difference in four directions between the assessments, and there was no statistical significance in the difference in all directions between the control and elastic tapes. Conclusion: It can be inferred from the study that elastic taping does not have positive effects on joint stability in athletes with and without chronic instability, taking into account their functionality. Levef of Evidence I; High quality randomized trial with statistically significant difference or no statistically significant difference but narrow confidence intervals.
