Adhesive tapes effectively prevent ankle swelling during prolonged use, unlike non-adhesive tapes. For sustained compression, adhesive tapes are recommended for optimal ankle support and injury prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanical Engineering
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Ankle injuries are common in athletes and the general population.
  • Compression therapy is frequently used to manage ankle swelling and pain.
  • The effectiveness of different taping methods for sustained compression is not well-established.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the compressive action of adhesive and non-adhesive tapes on the ankle.
  • To evaluate the ability of different tapes to prevent swelling over time.
  • To determine the optimal taping method for prolonged compression therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Ten volunteers participated in the study.
  • Three different adhesive and two non-adhesive tapes were applied by three operators.

  • Compressive action was assessed at strapping, during gait, and after five days.
  • Ankle swelling was measured to evaluate tape efficacy.

    • Main Results:

    • Adhesive tapes maintained compressive action throughout the study period.
    • Only adhesive tapes effectively prevented ankle swelling after five days.
    • Non-adhesive tapes lost their compressive properties over time.

    Conclusions:

    • Adhesive tapes are superior to non-adhesive tapes for prolonged ankle compression.
    • For sustained compression and swelling prevention, adhesive tapes are the recommended choice.
    • This finding has implications for the management of ankle injuries and rehabilitation protocols.
