Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Soccer is a sport that attracts many participants and leads to a substantial number of injuries, especially of the ankle. Enhancement of functional joint stability by kinesio taping proprioceptive training may be important both in prevention and rehabilitation of ankle injuries. The main aim of this study was to determine the effect of kinesio taping and proprioceptive exercises on parameters related to ankle stability, such as the injury incidence, pain, static or dynamic stability and flexibility, in amateur soccer players training 3 times a week.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group 1

This group included 16 subjects. They received kinesio taping for both ankle joints and and performed proprioceptive exercises.

Proprioceptive exercises were incorporated into their normal training routine (twice per week), and included 20 min of standardised proprioceptive exercises: single leg balancing on stable surfaces, on bosu/togu balls, and hopping activities, all repeated with eyes open/closed. Kinesio taping technique was used on both ankles on the first day of training with the aim of functional and mechanical correction, following the method described by Duenas et al. It was removed on the second day of training.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Kinesio taping

Intervention Type OTHER

Kinesio taping technique was used on both ankles on the first day of training with the aim of functional and mechanical correction, following the method described by Duenas et al. It was removed on the second day of training. This procedure was repeated each week for one month.

Proprioceptive exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

Proprioceptive exercises were performed twice a week for one month. They were incorporated into their normal training routine (twice per week), and included 20 min of standardised proprioceptive exercises: single leg balancing on stable surfaces, on bosu/togu balls, and hopping activities, all repeated with eyes open/closed.

Group 2

This group received placebo kinesio taping for ankle joint (no tension) and performed proprioceptive exercises.

Proprioceptive exercises were incorporated into their normal training routine (twice per week), and included 20 min of standardised proprioceptive exercises: single leg balancing on stable surfaces, on bosu/togu balls, and hopping activities, all repeated with eyes open/closed. Kinesio taping technique was used on both ankles on the first day of training in the same way as before but with no tension. It was removed on the second day of training.

Placebo Kinesio taping

Intervention Type OTHER

Group 3

This group received kinesio taping for ankle joint. Kinesio taping technique was used on both ankles on the first day of training with the aim of functional and mechanical correction, following the method described by Duenas et al. It was removed on the second day of training.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Kinesio taping

Intervention Type OTHER

Kinesio taping technique was used on both ankles on the first day of training with the aim of functional and mechanical correction, following the method described by Duenas et al. It was removed on the second day of training. This procedure was repeated each week for one month.
