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 mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
corrective rigid taping
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.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 22 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and the taping effect might be temporary or not work for all.

Inculsion criteria : 1. history of at least one significant ankle sprain (the initial sprain must have occurred at least 12 months prior to study enrollment and the most recent injury must have occurred more than 3 months prior to study enrollment. 2. Participants should report at least 2 episodes of giving way in the last 6 month. 3. Self-reported ankle instability using CAIT should be \>24 . 4. the presence of pelvic torsion must be present and confirmed using the PALM-Meter . Exclusion criteria: 1.
