Functional ankle instability (FAI) of college football players is an important risk factor affecting their training and competition. Physical therapy and appropriate sports intervention can improve the stability of FAI patients. Previous studies have shown that Tai Chi (TC) and Kinesio taping (KT) can improve the posture control ability of FAI patients. However, whether Tai Chi combined with Kinesio taping effect patch can be used as an effective exercise for rehabilitation of college football players with FAI is not yet proven.
METHODS/DESIGN: Fifty-three FAI college football players were randomly assigned to 3 groups: TC+KT (n = 20); TC+KTp (placebo Kinesio taping, KTp, placebo) (n = 17), and KT (n = 16). The TC+KT group received TC and KT functional correction technical intervention, the TC+KTp group received TC and placebo KT technical intervention, and the KT group received KT functional correction technical intervention. Each of the three groups received 30 min each time, 3 times a week, for a total of 6 weeks of intervention training. Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) and UniPedal Stance Test (UST) at baseline (before), 4 weeks after intervention (middle), and 6 weeks after intervention (after) and Toe Touch Test (TTT) were evaluated.
For the first time in this trial, the impact will be evaluated. If the results are the same as expected, they will provide evidence that Tai Chi combined with Kinesio taping sticking intervention can promote the posture control of college football players with FAI.

大学生足球运动员的功能性踝关节不稳（FAI）是影响其训练和比赛的重要危险因素。物理治疗和适当的运动干预可以改善 FAI 患者的稳定性。先前的研究表明，太极拳（TC）和肌内效贴（KT）可以提高 FAI 患者的姿势控制能力。然而，太极拳结合肌内效贴效应贴是否可以作为 FAI 大学生足球运动员康复的有效运动方式尚未得到证实。
方法/设计：53 名 FAI 大学生足球运动员被随机分为 3 组：TC+KT（n=20）；TC+KTp（安慰剂肌内效贴，KTp，安慰剂）（n=17）和 KT（n=16）。TC+KT 组接受 TC 和 KT 功能矫正技术干预，TC+KTp 组接受 TC 和安慰剂 KT 技术干预，KT 组接受 KT 功能矫正技术干预。三组每次接受 30 分钟，每周 3 次，共进行 6 周的干预训练。在基线（干预前）、干预 4 周后（干预中）和干预 6 周后（干预后）进行星形偏移平衡测试（SEBT）和单足站立测试（UST）和脚趾触诊测试（TTT）。
在这项试验中，首次将评估影响。如果结果与预期相符，将为太极拳结合肌内效贴贴扎干预可以促进 FAI 大学生足球运动员姿势控制提供证据。
