Implication

Randomized trial assesses postural control improvements in individuals with functional ankle instability after muscle fatigue, suggesting injury risk reduction.

Key Points

This study evaluates how different kinesio taping methods affect postural control in individuals with functional ankle instability after muscle fatigue.
Twenty-eight participants with functional ankle instability completed maximum voluntary isometric contraction and proprioception tests using an isokinetic dynamometer.
Dynamic and static postural control were assessed using the Y-balance test and a force platform, respectively, after a fatigue protocol with four taping conditions.
The interventions included facilitatory kinesio taping, ankle balance taping, sham taping, and no taping.
No significant differences in maximum voluntary isometric contraction and proprioception were found among the taping conditions.
Significant improvements in dynamic postural control were observed in the Y-Balance Test in the posterolateral (p < 0.001) and posteromedial (p < 0.001) directions.
The mediolateral center of pressure sway range was larger in no taping compared to facilitatory kinesio taping (p = 0.003) and sham taping (p < 0.001).
