Ankle Kinesio Taping vs Mulligan's Mobilization With Movement

The aim of the study is to compare the effects of Kinesio taping and Mulligan's mobilization with movement technique on balance, muscle strength and flexibility in healthy ankles . Patients will randomly be divided into 4 groups: Kinesio taping (KT) group, sham Kinesio taping (SKT) group, Mulligan's mobilization with movement (MWM) group and sham mobilization with movement (SMWM) group . Kinesiotape will be applied both ankles as "Correction technique" in KT group, 'Posterolateral glide mobilization with movement' will be applied 10 times to both ankles in MWM group. The evaluations will be repeated after waiting 45 minutes to reveal the effects of Kinesio taping and Mulligan mobilization with movement.

Primary outcomes

  1. change in balance

    Time frame: Before intervention and 45 minutes after the intervention

    Change in balance will be measured by using Biodex Balance System.

Secondary outcomes

  1. change in muscle strength

    Time frame: Before intervention and 45 minutes after the intervention

    Change in muscle strength will be assessed by using hand-held dynamometer.

  2. change in flexibility

    Time frame: Before intervention and 45 minutes after the intervention

    Change in flexibility will be assessed by weight-bearing lunge test

  3. change in range of motion

    Time frame: Before intervention and 45 minutes after the intervention

    Change in range of motion will be assessed by using electronic gonyometer
