This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting

Summary

This study tested whether kinesiotape or dynamic tape improves jumping and hopping performance in 29 adolescent volleyball players with mild ankle instability. Players performed functional tests with and without tape. The results showed no significant difference between taped and non-taped conditions. The study suggests taping may not enhance performance in this group.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Kinesiotape and dynamic tape
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple, non-invasive way to help young athletes with ankle instability perform better.
What could go wrong
This small, completed study found no benefit from taping. The results may not apply to other sports or age groups.
