Effect of Kinesiotaping on Lower Limb Kinematics and Functional Related Outcomes Among Female Athletes With Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability

Egypt50 participantsStarted 2025-06-30

Plain-language summary

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
