Brief Summary

This study aims rigid tapping on chronic functional ankle instability in professional basketball players.

Conditions

Ankle Inversion Sprain

  measured by y balance test and single leg stance test

  3 days

• functional performance

  measured by Figure of 8 hopping test

  3 days

Study Arms (1)

study group

EXPERIMENTAL

this study group assessed by 3 functional tests (Figure of 8 hopping , single leg stance test and y balance test) pre and post receiving rigid ankle tapping

Other: Rigid Tape

Interventions

Rigid Tape OTHER

The patient was rested in supine or long sitting position on a table Pre-wrap was applied to cover all the area before tapping Two strips used separately as anchors at the two ends of the pre-wrap. Two Longitudinal stirrup of tape were used from medial side of the superior anchor to lateral side of the same anchor. Two horizontal stirrup of tape were used from medial side of the distal anchor to lateral side of the same anchor to support the medial side of the foot. Figure-of-eight straps were utilized for the taping. Lateral heel lock was applied.The tape then proceeded from the lateral side of the foot, looping around the heel, and returning to the same starting point by crossing over the Achilles tendon from behind. Medial heel lock was applied, the tape application was similar to the lateral heel lock but was at the opposite direction. Superior and inferior anchors were applied to support all the previous strips
