Effect of Pelvic Rigid Taping on Gait and Balance in Chronic Ankle Instability Patients With Pelvic Torsion
- Conditions
- Chronic Ankle Instability, CAI
- Registration Number
- NCT07157072
- Lead Sponsor
- Cairo University
- Brief Summary
Ankle sprain is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries, with a high incidence among physically active individuals. acute ankle sprains associated with the development of chronic ankle instability (CAI) which has been found to affect the whole lower quarter kinetic chain. This chronicity decrease the physical activity level and quality of life, All these consequences cost the patients physically, emotionally, socially and financially. Purpose: To investigate the effect of corrected pelvic torsion using rigid taping on gait parameters and balance in patients with unilateral CAI associated with pelvic torsion.
- Detailed Description
Background: Ankle sprain is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries, with a high incidence among physically active individuals. acute ankle sprains associated with the development of chronic ankle instability (CAI) which has been found to affect the whole lower quarter kinetic chain. This chronicity decrease the physical activity level and quality of life, All these consequences cost the patients physically, emotionally, socially and financially. Purpose: To investigate the effect of corrected pelvic torsion using rigid taping on gait parameters and balance in patients with unilateral CAI associated with pelvic torsion. Materials and Methods: 22 subjects from both genders were assessed for the presence of unilateral CAI associated with pelvic torsion , gait and balance were assessed using teckscan walkway assessment system and biodex balance system then rigid tape applied to the anteriorly tilted innominate then gait and balance reassessed again immediately after taping ,after one week and after two weeks.

Name Time Method Overall Stability Index measured by Biodex Balance System Baseline, immediately post-intervention(Day 1), one week post-intervention(week 1), two weeks post-intervention(week 2) Change in overall stability index using the Biodex Balance System
Cadence Baseline, immediately post-intervention(Day 1), 1 week post-intervention, 2 weeks post- intervention. Number of steps taken per minute (steps/min) during walking assessment using the Tekscan walkway system.
Anterior/Posterior Stability Index measured by Biodex Balance System Baseline, immediately post-intervention (Day1), 1 week post-intervention, 2 weeks post intervention. Change in anterior/posterior stability index using the Biodex Balance System
Maximum peak plantar pressure assessed using Tekscan walkway system. Baseline, immediately post-intervention (Day1), 1 week post-intervention, 2 weeks post-intervention. Maximum peak pressure(N/cm²) during walking as measured using the Tekscan walkway system. This represents the highest pressure recorded under the foot during gait.
Medial/Lateral Stability Index measured by Biodex Balance System Baseline, immediately post-intervention (Day1), 1 week post-intervention, 2 weeks post intervention. Change in medial/lateral stability index using the Biodex Balance System
Walking Velocity Baseline, immediately post-intervention (Day1), 1 week post-intervention, 2 weeks post-intervention Average walking speed (m/s) during gait assessment using the Tekscan walkway system. Calculated as distance traveled divided by time taken.
Step length Baseline, immediately post-intervention (Day1), 1 week post-intervention, 2 weeks post-intervention. Average distance(m) between successive heel contacts of opposite feet during walking, measured using the Tekscan walkway system.
