To investigate if applying Kinesiology Tape (KT) on the unstable ankle may improve static postural control in individuals with Functional ankle instability.
A repeated measured study. Participants performed a series of static quiet bipedal and unipedal stances on a force platform. Measurements were taken at three different times: baseline or no tape, immediately and 24 h after the taping application with the tape remaining on the ankle.
A university's psychomotor laboratory.
Twenty young adults with Functional ankle instability aged from 18 to 30 years old.
Postural control was assessed by four measures derived from the centre of pressure data: Area of 95% Confidence ellipse, standard deviation of displacements, mean velocity and mean power frequency. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to determine any significant improvement in postural control over time due to KT.
Only minor changes in mean velocity and MPF in unipedal stances were observed immediately after KT application. However, the overall results indicated statistically insignificant improvements in postural control neither immediately after KT application nor after 24 h.
Results suggest that the use of KT did not affect bipedal and unipedal stances of individuals with functional ankle instability.
研究在不稳定的踝关节上应用运动贴布（KT）是否可以改善功能性踝关节不稳定患者的静态姿势控制。
重复测量研究。参与者在力台上进行一系列静态安静双足和单足站立。在三个不同时间点进行测量：基线或无贴布、贴布应用后即刻和 24 小时后，贴布仍留在踝关节上。
一所大学的运动机能学实验室。
20 名年龄在 18 至 30 岁之间的功能性踝关节不稳定的年轻人。
姿势控制通过从压力中心数据得出的四个指标进行评估：95%置信椭圆面积、位移标准差、平均速度和平均功率频率。采用方差分析（ANOVA）来确定 KT 是否会导致姿势控制随时间的显著改善。
KT 应用后即刻仅观察到单足站立时平均速度和 MPF 的微小变化。然而，总体结果表明，KT 应用后即刻和 24 小时后，姿势控制均无统计学意义的改善。
结果表明，KT 的使用并未影响功能性踝关节不稳定患者的双足和单足站立。
