Simple taping may improve gait and balance in chronic ankle instability
NCT ID NCT07157072
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether using rigid tape to correct a tilted pelvis could improve walking and balance in 22 people with chronic ankle instability. Participants had a history of ankle sprains and pelvic torsion. Researchers measured balance and walking patterns before and after taping. The goal was to see if this simple approach could help address the whole-body effects of ankle instability.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, non-drug way to improve walking and balance for people with chronic ankle instability.
