The effects of Kinesiology Tape on static postural control in individuals with functional ankle instability

To investigate if applying Kinesiology Tape (KT) on the unstable ankle may improve static postural control in individuals with Functional instability. A repeated measured study. Participants performed a series of quiet bipedal and unipedal stances force platform. Measurements were taken at three different times: baseline or no tape, immediately 24 h after taping application tape remaining ankle. university’s psychomotor laboratory. Twenty young adults instability aged from 18 to 30 years old. Outcome measures: Postural was assessed by four measures derived centre pressure data: Area 95% Confidence ellipse, standard deviation displacements, mean velocity power frequency. The analysis variance (ANOVA) determine any significant improvement over time due KT. Only minor changes MPF observed KT application. However, overall results indicated statistically insignificant improvements neither nor h. Results suggest that use did not affect functional
