Purpose : The purpose of the present study is to report the effect of proprioception of ankle after kinesiotaping application on ankle.
Method : This study has conducted to target 30 average adult subjects with no damage to the ankle joint (16 males and 14 females). The group is divided into experimental group and sham groups in random way. The subjects in the experimental group are applied taping kinesiology on ankle joint. The subjects in the sham group are applied a sham taping on the ankle joint which is not actually affected for real ankle joint problem. Each subjects in both groups has tree trials in plantarflexion, dorsiflexion, inversion, and eversion before and after application of the kinesiotaping or sham taping of the bare footed ankle. The outcome were determined from the difference between the target angle and the trial angle produced by the subject.
Results : These results from the experiment shows that the experimental group compared to the difference in kinesiotaping angle values were significantly different from each dorsiflexion (DF), eversion (EV) (p<.05). Otherwise, in the sham group did not produce significant differences in any joint movement. In addition, when we compared between two groups (the experimental and sham groups), it did not show that there was significant differences.
Conclusion : First, there is no significant difference between the sham group and kinesiotaping group after proprioceptive tests. Second, even though there is no significant outcome in statistical analysis, there is actual differences in the experiment. This result might be ceiling effect, and if the kinesiotaping were applied to actual ankle injury patients, this taping treatment could be very effective for curing this patient.
