Effects of ankle taping on single leg stability, isokinetic strength, endurance, and range of motion in collegiate athletes

  The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of ankle taping on single leg stability, isokinetic strength, endurance, and range of motion in athletes with ankle injuries within last six months. Twenty eight collegiate athletes were volunteered to participate in this study. Single leg stability, isokinetic strength, endurance, and range of motion were assessed before and after ankle taping. The results were as follows: 1. There was not signigicant difference in static stability, but dynamic single leg stability showed significant difference in overall stability(OS), anterior/posterior stability(AP) and medial/lateral stability index score(ML) after ankle taping at each level. 2 Both isokinetic ankle eversion 60°/sec showed significant difference between before and after ankle taping. There was difference in both isokinetic ankle inversion and eversion at 180°/sec. 3. Range of motion(ROM) showed significant difference between before and after ankle taping. In conclusion, ankle taping on athletes with ankle injuries was effective in enhancing single leg stability, isokinetic muscle function, and restricting ROM Ankle taping could reduce ankle injuries and prevent re-injury.
