The practice of prophylactic ankle taping or wrapping to reduce the incidence of inversion ankle sprains in athletes has come under attack. The purpose of this study was to measure objectively one ankle taping technique's ability to withstand the stresses placed upon it by a standardized exercise routine. Electrogoniometers were used to measure the three-dimensional ankle motion of 20 subjects walking on a level surface and a 10 degrees sideslope. The evaluations were carried out under these three conditions: (1) both ankles untaped, (2) both ankles taped before exercises, and (3) both ankles taped after exercise. The results from this study indicate that the tape does indeed restrict those motions associated with inversion ankle sprain. Methods similar to those described in this study could be used in the evaluation of many current training room practices and thereby provide an objective rationale for their application.
预防性脚踝贴扎或包扎以降低运动员内翻性脚踝扭伤发生率的做法受到了质疑。本研究的目的是客观测量一种脚踝贴扎技术在标准化日常锻炼中承受施加于其上的应力的能力。使用电子测角仪测量20名受试者在水平表面和10度侧坡上行走时脚踝的三维运动。评估在以下三种条件下进行:(1) 双踝未贴扎;(2) 锻炼前双踝贴扎;(3) 锻炼后双踝贴扎。本研究结果表明,贴扎确实会限制与内翻性脚踝扭伤相关的动作。类似于本研究中所描述的方法可用于评估当前许多训练室的做法,从而为其应用提供客观依据。
