A comparative study on semi rigid taping vs. K-taping on functional performance in ankle instable athletes
Keywords:
ankle instability, performance, semi rigid tape, K-tapeAbstract
Background: A taping is often used to preventgiving-ways in the joint with ankle instability. However, it remains unknown whether the application of a taping modifies abnormal kinematics in ankle instability joints. Ankle Instability is characterized by recurrent giving way and often develops after repeated lateral ankle sprains. Basically, athletes are more prone to ankle instability in order to prevent reoccurrence of injury especially ankle instability. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of semi rigid taping vs. k-taping on functional performance in ankle instable athletes. Method: 40 Participants was randomly assigned to two groups. Volunteers with functional ankle instability following ankle inversion sprain were recruited from among students of the Annamalai University. Prior to participation in the study, all participants provided written informed consent. Results: The semi rigid taping group scored a CAIT rating scale means value of 21.07 ±5.37 and Kinesio taping group shows a mean value of 23.02±5.20 with a “t” value of 8.58 and a significant of “p” value 0.00001. This shows that the kinesio taping was highly effective in improving in ankle instability athletes. Conclusion: CAIT analysis clearly showed the stabilizing effect of both kinesio taping and semi rigid taping on the athletes with ankle instability.
