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.
