简要总结
The current study aims to measure the effect of adding kinesiology tape to ankle mobilization with movement with calf muscles flexibility exercise on dorsiflexion range of motion, dynamic balance, lower limb kinematics, and self-reported physical function versus mobilization with movement, calf muscles flexibility exercise, and placebo kinesiotapping in female basketball players with unilateral chronic lateral ankle instability
详细描述
Chronic ankle instability affects up to 70% of individuals with lateral ankle sprain, causing pain, recurrent sprains, and instability. This condition significantly impacts physical and financial welfare, necessitating effective treatment techniques. Ankle injuries are common in healthy, active individuals, affecting women more frequently than men. These injuries can cost healthcare systems around the United States dollars 6.2 billion in high school athletes in the United States and euro 208 million in the Netherlands annually. Most rehabilitation protocols focus on isolated interventions, neglecting the potential benefits of combined strategies. This study contributes to evidence-based practice by adding to existing knowledge on chronic ankle instability rehabilitation practices and supporting healthcare professionals in implementing effective treatment plans. Combined intervention strategies may enhance dorsiflexion range of motion, lower limb kinematics, ankle stability, postural control, and athletic performance, reducing time away from sports.

结局指标
主要结局
Assessment of change of Dorsiflexion range of motion
时间窗: at baseline and after 2 weeks
The weight-bearing lunge test is a controlled exercise that involves standing upright facing a vertical wall with a measuring tape and a tape affixed to the wall. Participants lunge forward, flexing at the ankle, knee, and hip on the test leg to make contact with the wall. After a successful attempt, the foot is moved backward in 1 cm increments. The distance between the heel and the wall and the anterosuperior edge of the patella is recorded to the nearest 0.1 cm. Ankle dorsiflexion angle is calculated using the trigonometric function.
