| Summary: | [Purpose] The purpose of this study was to report the effects of ankle inversion taping
using kinesiology tape in a patient with a medial ankle sprain. [Subject] A 28-year-old
amateur soccer player suffered a Grade 2 medial ankle sprain during a match. [Methods]
Ankle inversion taping was applied to the sprained ankle every day for 2 months. [Results]
His symptoms were reduced after ankle inversion taping application for 2 months. The
self-reported function score, the reach distances in the Star Excursion Balance Test, and
the weight-bearing ankle dorsiflexion were increased. [Conclusion] This study showed that
ankle inversion taping using kinesiology tape may be an effective therapy for a patient
with a medial ankle sprain. |
