简要总结
Introduction. The ankle sprain is one of the most prevalent injuries in soccer players. The muscle strength deficit is one of the variables that can most influence the development of a sprain. It has been indicated how the Kinesiotape and the myofascial direct induction technique can improve functionality.
Aim. To verify the effectiveness of the KinesioTape and the myofascial technique combined with strength training, in the reduction of pain, Rom increase, stability and strength in subjects who suffered ankle sprains.
Study design. Randomized, multicentric clinical study with follow-up. Methods. A random assignment of the subjects recruited in two study groups will be carried out: experimental and control group. The treatment will last 4 weeks, with 2 weekly sessions, of 50-60 minutes. The intervention includes the application of kinesiotape and myofascial treatment with strength training. The study variables will be pain (VAS), mobility (goniometer), stability (ProKin balance) and strength (MicroFet). A descriptive statistical analysis will be carried out calculating the main statistical characteristics. By means of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test the distribution of the normality of the sample will be assessed. With the t-student test for related samples we will calculate the difference of means between the evaluations made in both groups. With an ANOVA of repeated measures we will calculate the intra and intersubject effect. The calculation of the effect size will be done with the Cohen formula.
Expected results. Improvement in stability, increase in range of motion, decrease in pain and increase in strength.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline ankle range of motion after treatment and at 1 month
时间窗: Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit
It will be done with a digital goniometer (Get my Rom model - Iphone 5 - Interactive Medical Productions). The movements of dorsal and plantar flexion, inversion and eversion will be measured. In measuring dorsal and plantar flexion, the goniometer will be placed on the 5th metatarsal. In measuring the inversion and eversion, the goniometer will be placed in the plantar part in line with the metatarsals. The unit of measure is the degree.
次要结局
- Change from baseline ankle joint pain perception after treatment and at 1 month(Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit)
- Change from baseline isometric ankle strength after treatment and at 1 month(Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit)
- Change from baseline stability after treatment and at 1 month(Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit)
