Abstract

Effect of non-elastic closed-basket weave ankle taping on muscle activity of tibialis anterior, peroneus longus, medial, and lateral gastrocnemius during jump landing on a hard, flat surface in healthy individuals: a pilot study

Highlights

Inversion ankle sprains are one of the most volleyball, tennis, and wrestling.[2]
To determine the effect of non-elastic closed-basket weave ankle taping on the muscle activity of tibialis anterior, peroneus longus, medial, and lateral gastrocnemius on healthy individuals during jump landing on a hard, flat surface
The non-elastic closed-basket weave taping exhibited a significant effect on the peroneus longus peak amplitude muscle activity, having a decreased activation after application

Summary

Introduction

Inversion ankle sprains are one of the most volleyball, tennis, and wrestling.[2]. Despite it being common traumatic injuries in the lower a common injury, there is little knowledge extremity for both men and women. Studies revealed that the highest risk population thoroughly.[5] for sustaining an ankle sprain are females and children,[2] and between the ages 14-37 years old,[3] with the highest risk activity occurring during indoor and outdoor sports such as basketball, The most common mechanism of injury in inversion ankle sprains is due to excessive inversion and plantarflexion, which are seen in running, jumping, or sudden changes in directions since these motions stress the lateral ligaments further, causing tears.[1] Previous case studies have shown that jumping and drop landing are often the mechanisms involved in the acquisition of ankle sprains during cutting maneuvers and jump landing tasks in field hockey, high jumps, tennis, and basketball games.[6] When an individual starts to jump, the ankle moves from a dorsiflexed to a plantarflexed position, upon landing, it moves from plantarflexion to dorsiflexion This motion decreases the stability of the ankle ligaments just when it is most needed. This research suggests that tape may influence the peroneus longus, and it may or may not be detrimental in reducing the risk of ankle sprains
