Short-Term and Long-Term Effects of Ankle Joint Taping and Bandaging on Balance, Proprioception and Vertical Jump Among Volleyball Players With Chronic Ankle Instability
- Conditions
- Chronic Ankle Instability
- Interventions
- Other: Taping and Bandaging
- Registration Number
- NCT04377269
- Lead Sponsor
- Istanbul Gelisim University
- Brief Summary
Objective: This study aimed to 1) investigate the long-term effect of taping and bandaging on proprioception, balance, and vertical jump among volleyball players with ankle instability, 2) Compare the short-term effects of taping and bandaging on these outcome measures, 3) Compare the long-term effects of taping and bandaging on these outcome measures.
Design: A single-blinded randomized controlled study Setting: Rehabilitation Laboratory at Istanbul Gelisim University, Turkey Subjects: One-hundred participants with a chronic ankle sprain (CAI) Primary outcome measures: Proprioception (ankle range of motion absolute error), balance(Y-balance test), and vertical jump (vertical jump tester) Interventions: Participants were distributed into three groups: taping group (n=33) received ankle rigid taping, bandaging group (n=33) received ankle bandaging, and control group (n=34) received placebo taping. All three previous external supports were applied for 8 weeks. The measurements were performed at baseline, immediately after applying for support, two weeks after support and eight months after support.
