Abstract:
Background and Objective: Ankle sprains are the most common type of injury in team sports. There is evidence that sports players have a twofold risk for reinjury after a previous ankle sprain, especially during first year post-injury. Recurrences of ankle sprains may result in disability and chronic pain or instability. Ankle instability is characterized by recurrent giving way and often develops after repeated lateral ankle sprains. There is evidence that performing proprioception exercises in conjunction with taping improved the performance of subjects with chronic ankle instability. There hasn’t been a lot of research comparing Kinesio taping and Athletic taping. Thus, the need for the investigation is created. Methods: Randomized controlled trail. In this study, there were 140 subjects with 18-30 years of age, a clinical diagnosis of chronic ankle instability and who were divided into two groups randomly. The subjects in Group A(n=70) received Kinesio taping, while the subjects in Group B(n=70) received. Intervention was given to participants twice a week for eight weeks. The CAIT for instability and SEBT for functional performance were used to assess the effectiveness of the interventions. Results: Independent ‘t’ test was used to compare the mean significance difference between continuous variables. Paired t-test was used to assess the statistical difference between pre-test and post-test scores. Statistical analysis of this data revealed that, both groups significantly improved in both parameters when compared within groups, but when compared between groups, the Kinesio taping group improved better than the Athletic taping group. Conclusion: The present study concluded that both Kinesio taping and Athletic taping are effective in increasing stability and functional performance. However, Kinesio taping is more effective in decreasing instability and improving functional performance when compared to Athletic taping in subjects with chronic ankle instability.
