About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effects of Kinesio Taping and Mulligan's Mobilization With Movement on Balance, Muscle Strength and Flexibility in Healthy Ankles

The aim of the study is to compare the effects of Kinesio taping and Mulligan's mobilization with movement technique on balance, muscle strength and flexibility in healthy ankles . Patients will randomly be divided into 4 groups: Kinesio taping (KT) group, sham Kinesio taping (SKT) group, Mulligan's mobilization with movement (MWM) group and sham mobilization with movement (SMWM) group . Kinesiotape will be applied both ankles as "Correction technique" in KT group, 'Posterolateral glide mobilization with movement' will be applied 10 times to both ankles in MWM group. The evaluations will be repeated after waiting 45 minutes to reveal the effects of Kinesio taping and Mulligan mobilization with movement.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. change in balance

    Change in balance will be measured by using Biodex Balance System.

    Measured: Before intervention and 45 minutes after the intervention

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. change in muscle strength

    Change in muscle strength will be assessed by using hand-held dynamometer.

    Measured: Before intervention and 45 minutes after the intervention

  2. change in flexibility

    Change in flexibility will be assessed by weight-bearing lunge test

    Measured: Before intervention and 45 minutes after the intervention

  3. change in range of motion

    Change in range of motion will be assessed by using electronic gonyometer

    Measured: Before intervention and 45 minutes after the intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Kinesio-tape and Mulligan's mobilization with movement in people with Healthy, run by Dokuz Eylul University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

change in balance (time frame: Before intervention and 45 minutes after the intervention). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Nov 2018.
