Summary

Ankle taping, particularly basket weave techniques, enhances ankle stability and proprioception, aiding injury prevention and rehabilitation. However, high costs and reduced support post-exercise are notable drawbacks.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Ankle ligamentous injuries are prevalent in athletes.
  • External support via ankle taping is a common intervention.
  • Taping serves roles in prevention, stabilization, and rehabilitation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of ankle taping methods.
  • To identify key factors contributing to taping efficacy.
  • To assess the mechanical and proprioceptive effects of ankle taping.

Main Methods:

  • Review of various ankle taping techniques.
  • Focus on basket weave taping combined with stirrup and heel-lock.
  • Analysis of biomechanical stability, range of motion, and proprioception.

Main Results:

  • Basket weave taping significantly increases ankle mechanical stability, particularly in the frontal plane (talar tilt).
  • Effective taping is associated with reduced ankle range of motion and improved proprioceptive function.
  • Key benefits include enhanced stability and proprioception.

Conclusions:

  • Basket weave ankle taping is highly effective for improving mechanical stability and proprioception.
  • Ankle taping aids in preventing injuries and supports rehabilitation.
  • High costs and decreased support after exercise are significant limitations.
