Kinesio Tape
Kinesiotaping of the peroneus longus according to the guidelines provided by the Kinesio Taping Association (Kase, K. 2016) followed by standardized set of therapeutic exercises that are commonly implemented in ankle rehabilitation programs.
Kinesiotaping: The application of Kinesio Tape® (kinesiotaping) according to the guidelines provided by the Kinesio Taping Association (Kase, K. 2016). A 5 cm width strip of Kinesio Tape® (Kinesio TEX Products, NKT-050, Japan) will be applied from origin (the head of the fibula) to insertion (the medial cuneiform and first metatarsal) of the peroneus longus in a longitudinal direction. The proximal anchors will be applied without tension, and the Kinesio Tape® placed on approximately 50% stretch before being applied over the peroneus longus and the distal anchor point.
