Abstract Details

2017, Master of Science, University of Toledo, Exercise Science.
Objective: To determine if application of fibular reposition tape (FRT) has any effect on ankle, knee, or hip kinematic, kinetics as well as vertical ground reaction forces (vGRFs) during gait in individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Design: Cross over repeated measures laboratory study. Subjects: Twenty active individuals with bilateral CAI (age = 21.5 ± 4.1 years, height = 170 ± 7.5 cm, mass = 81.8 ± 22 kg). Measurements: Time series curve analysis were used for group comparisons. Groups included FRT, Sham FRT, and no tape. Measurements included ankle, knee, and hip kinematics and kinetics in the sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes throughout the entire gait cycle as well as vGRFs during the stance phase. Results: There were no significant differences when comparing the no tape and sham FRT groups for all variables across the entire gait cycle. Additionally, there were no significant results when comparing the sham FRT and FRT groups for all variables across the entire gait cycle. Conclusion: Application of FRT did not have any effect on ankle, knee, or hip kinematics or kinetics across the entire gait cycle as well as vGRFs during the stance phase in individuals with CAI.
