Kinesio Taping Effects on Balance and Ankle Proprioception
The Effect of Different Kinesio Tape Applications on Balance and Ankle Joint Position Sensation: A Randomised Controlled Study
University of Beykent

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Ankle injuries are among the most common musculoskeletal injuries, affecting both athletes and the general population. Various methods are used to prevent such injuries, but the effectiveness of different kinesio taping applications on joint position sense and balance remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the effects of different kinesio taping techniques on proprioception and postural stability in healthy young adults. By identifying changes in balance and proprioception before injuries occur, the findings may provide clinical insights into the potential role of kinesio taping in rehabilitation and injury prevention.

Interventions
A specific Kinesio taping technique applied to the ankle to evaluate its effects on joint position sense and balance.
A different Kinesio taping technique applied to the ankle to assess its impact on proprioception and postural stability.
A placebo taping application that mimics the real Kinesio tape placement but lacks therapeutic tension or functional support, serving as a control condition to evaluate the true effects of the experimental interventions.
