This study examines the effect of kinesiology tape on proprioception and postural control in
subjects with sub-acute and chronic ankle sprains/strain.
The a priori hypothesis of this study is that proprioception (knee repositioning error) and
balance (sway velocity and center of pressure) will improve significantly after intervention
(Kinesiotape) in participants with a history of acute or chronic ankle sprains/strains.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Logan student, staff, or faculty
- Between the ages of 20 and 65
- Previous history of ankle instability/sprains
- A score of 6 out of 10 questions answered yes on the Functional Ankle Instability
form will qualify the candidate
