Gait and muscle activity measures after biomechanical device therapy in subjects with ankle instability: A systematic review.

Introduction: Health specialists suggest a conservative approach comprising non-pharmacological interventions as the initial course of action for individuals with repetitive ankle sprain due to ankle instability. This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of biomechanical devices (Foot Orthoses, Ankle Orthoses, and Taping) on gait and muscle activity in individuals with ankle instability.

Methods: A systematic search was performed on electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Clinical Trials.
