Effects of Ankle and Gluteus Medius Kinesio Taping on Dynamic Balance and Lower Extremity Biomechanics in Individuals with Ankle Sprain

Key Points

• To investigate the impacts of kinesio taping on dynamic balance and lower extremity biomechanics in individuals with ankle sprain.
• Randomized trial design
• Participants with diagnosed ankle sprain
• Assessment of dynamic balance and biomechanics before and after kinesio taping intervention.
• Significant improvement in dynamic balance scores post-intervention (p<0.05)
• Enhanced lower extremity biomechanics, indicated by improved stability metrics
• Kinesio taping showed reduction in sprain-related discomfort.
