[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of ankle taping and balance exercises on postural stability indices in healthy women. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty healthy female students were randomly assigned into two equal groups: ankle taping and balance exercise. The balance exercise group performed balance exercises for 6 weeks, with 3 sessions per week and each session lasting 40 minutes. Ankle joint taping was performed for 6 weeks and was renewed three times a week. Before and after the interventions, overall, anteroposterior, and mediolateral stability indices were measured with a Biodex Balance System in bilateral and unilateral stance positions with the eyes open and closed. [Results] In the taping group during bilateral standing with the eyes closed, the overall stability index changed from 6±1.4 to 4.8±1.3, anteroposterior stability index changed from 4.2±1.27 to 3.4±0.97, and mediolateral stability index changed from 3.2±0.75 to 2.7± 0.7. In the balance exercise group during bilateral standing with the eyes closed, the overall stability index changed from 5.7±1.69 to 4.5±1.94, anteroposterior stability index changed from 4.1±1.61 to 3±1.21, and mediolateral stability index changed from 3.5±1.4 to 2.2± 1.3. No significant difference was seen between the two groups regarding any study variables. [Conclusion] The results showed that compared with the taping technique, balance training increases postural stability in the majority of the studied balance situations.
[目的]本研究旨在比较踝关节贴扎和平衡训练对健康女性姿势稳定性指标的影响。[对象与方法]30名健康女学生被随机分为两组，每组人数相等：踝关节贴扎组和平衡训练组。平衡训练组进行6周的平衡训练，每周3次，每次持续40分钟。踝关节贴扎持续6周，每周更换3次。在干预前后，使用Biodex平衡系统在双眼睁开和闭合的双侧及单侧站立位测量整体、前后和内外侧稳定性指标。[结果]在贴扎组双眼闭合双侧站立时，整体稳定性指标从6±1.4变为4.8±1.3，前后稳定性指标从4.2±1.27变为3.4±0.97，内外侧稳定性指标从3.2±0.75变为2.7±0.7。在平衡训练组双眼闭合双侧站立时，整体稳定性指标从5.7±1.69变为4.5±1.94，前后稳定性指标从4.1±1.61变为3±1.21，内外侧稳定性指标从3.5±1.4变为2.2±1.3。两组在任何研究变量上均未观察到显著差异。[结论]结果表明，与贴扎技术相比，平衡训练在大多数研究的平衡情况下可提高姿势稳定性。
