About this study

The a priori hypothesis of this study is that proprioception (knee repositioning error) and balance (sway velocity and center of pressure) will improve significantly after intervention (Kinesiotape) in participants with a history of acute or chronic ankle sprains/strains.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Logan student, staff, or faculty
  • Between the ages of 20 and 65
  • Previous history of ankle instability/sprains
  • A score of 6 out of 10 questions answered yes on the Functional Ankle Instability form will qualify the candidate

Treatment and study plan

Kinesiotape

Other

An elastic tape that will be placed on subject's ankles to determine whether ankle proprioception is improved

Primary outcomes

  1. Joint Position sense testing and postural control (sway velocity center of pressure)

    Time frame: Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 of Study

Secondary outcomes
