This study evaluates whether the use of Kinesio Tape® in combination with a standard exercise program improves muscle function in individuals with chronic ankle instability. Twenty participants will receive Kinesio Tape® and perform an ankle exercise program, while twenty will perform the ankle exercise program without Kinesio Tape®.

Eligibility | Inclusion Criteria: 1. A history of at least one significant ankle sprain on the involved (injured) limb i. The initial sprain must have occurred at least 12 months prior to the study enrollment ii. Was associated with inflammatory symptoms (pain, swelling, etc.) iii. Created at least one interrupted day of desired physical activity. 2. The most recent injury on the involved (injured) ankle must have occurred more than 3 months prior to the study enrollment. 3. A history of the involved (injured) ankle joint 'giving way', and/or recurrent sprain and/or 'feelings of instability' on the involved (injured) limb Participants should report at least 2 episodes of 'giving way' in the 6 months prior to the study enrolment. 4. Be 18-35 years of age 5. Have not had a past allergic reaction to Kinesio Tape® Exclusion Criteria: 1. Have a history of previous surgeries to the musculoskeletal structures (i.e., bones, joint structures, nerves, etc.) in either lower extremity. 2. Have a history of a fracture in either lower extremity requiring realignment. 3. Had acute injury to the musculoskeletal structures of other joints of either lower extremity in the previous 3 months which impacted joint integrity and function (i.e., sprains, fractures, etc.) and resulted in at least 1 interrupted day of desired physical activity. 4. Are not able to be matched according to our group allocation procedure 5. Have had a past allergic reaction to Kinesio Tape® 6. Currently display symptoms of an acute sprain including swelling, heat, redness, pain, discoloration, and/or loss of range of motion or function 7. Any diagnosed vestibular disorder, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disorder, Ehlers-Danlos, or other hereditary nerve, balance or connective tissue disorder 8. Report a possibility that they may be pregnant as hormonal changes may affect ligamentous laxity 9. Have suffered more than one ankle sprain on the uninvolved limb 10. Have had an ankle sprain on the uninvolved limb within the past 12 months 11. Have episodes of giving way of the ankle on the uninvolved limb besides the single time when they may have sprained this ankle. |
