Brief Summary

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.

Detailed Description

Background: 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. Materials and Methods: 22 subjects from both genders were assessed for the presence of unilateral CAI associated with pelvic torsion , gait and balance were assessed using teckscan walkway assessment system and biodex balance system then rigid tape applied to the anteriorly tilted innominate then gait and balance reassessed again immediately after taping ,after one week and after two weeks.
