AI Article Synopsis
- Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) leads to issues like altered muscle activation, reduced range of motion, and balance deficits.
- The study aimed to see if fibular taping could impact pain intensity, dorsiflexion range of motion, and dynamic balance in those with CAI.
- Results indicated that fibular taping effectively reduced pain intensity and improved balance and range of motion in participants, but more research is necessary for those with greater pain and lower functional levels.
Article Abstract
Background: Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) is characterized by altered muscle activation, reduced range of motion (ROM) and balance deficits.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether fibular taping technique influenced the pain intensity, dorsiflexion ROM and dynamic balance in participants with CAI.
Methods: Twenty-six participants (16 males and 10 females; age 28.8 ± 5.74 y) with unilateral CAI who scored 85 points or less on the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) were included in our study. Mulligan distal fibular taping technique was applied. Visual Analog Scale, Star Excursion Balance Test in anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral directions and a Weight Bearing Lunge Test were taken before, after, 1 hour after and 24 hours after taping.
Results: Distal fibular taping technique decreases pain intensity (at rest, during range of motion and weight bearing conditions), while it increases forward lunge distance and reach distance in anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral directions (p= 0.001).
Conclusions: Our study showed that distal fibular taping reduces pain intensity, postural control and dorsiflexion range of motion in individuals with CAI. Further studies are needed with participants with a lower functional level and a higher pain intensity.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the effects of functional or biomechanical bandages, whether elastic or inelastic, in Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI).
Methods: This review used PubMed, WoS, SCOPUS, and CINAHL following PRISMA and registering in Prospero. Main PICOS: (1) CAI; (2) intervention, functional/biomechanical bandages; (3) comparison, taping effect versus placebo/no taping, or another functional taping; (4) outcomes, improvement of CAI functionality (dynamic/static balance, ankle kinematic, perception, agility and motor control, endurance and strength; (5) experimental and preexperimental studies.

Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a prevalent condition characterized by recurring instances of the ankle giving way and persistent symptoms, including pain and diminished function. Foot and ankle external supports are commonly used in clinical practice and research for treating CAI. This systematic review aimed to assess the effects of foot and ankle external supports on the postural stability of individuals with CAI to guide clinical practice and inform future research.

Background: The surgery of knee replacement due to degenerative changes is the last step of the treatment. After surgery, a major problem in patients is pain, swelling, intraarticular hematoma, and the restriction of the mobility of the joint. The aim of this work was to determine the effect of Kinesio Taping (KT) on reducing edema of the subcutaneous tissue and improving the range of motion in the joint.

Unlabelled: Background The knee is one of the joints in the human body that is most susceptible of osteoarthritis (OA). In the case of advanced-stage OA, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a treatment of choice. One modern physiotherapeutic method to support the treatment in the early postsurgical period is Kinesio Taping (KT).
