About this study
Objective: This study aimed to 1) investigate the long-term effect of taping and bandaging on proprioception, balance, and vertical jump among volleyball players with ankle instability, 2) Compare the short-term effects of taping and bandaging on these outcome measures, 3) Compare the long-term effects of taping and bandaging on these outcome measures.
Design: A single-blinded randomized controlled study Setting: Rehabilitation Laboratory at Istanbul Gelisim University, Turkey Subjects: One-hundred participants with a chronic ankle sprain (CAI) Primary outcome measures: Proprioception (ankle range of motion absolute error), balance(Y-balance test), and vertical jump (vertical jump tester) Interventions: Participants were distributed into three groups: taping group (n=33) received ankle rigid taping, bandaging group (n=33) received ankle bandaging, and control group (n=34) received placebo taping. All three previous external supports were applied for 8 weeks. The measurements were performed at baseline, immediately after applying for support, two weeks after support and eight months after support.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Taping and BandagingOther
Ankle taping: a hard preventive Zinc oxide tape was used. The taping procedures consisted of three separate steps. 1) included the application of the anchor tape. 2) application of the stirrup tape. The stirrup tape was performed two times by holding the foot in a neutral position and the tape is placed as it passed through the medial side of the ankle (under the foot), just over the heel area (posterior one-third of the foot) and up along the lateral side of the ankle. Bandaging: standard 10cm width elastic bandage used. The bandage wrapped around the ankle joint in the form of an 8-figure. Bandage started from the forefoot, moving diagonally upwards and steeply enough to go well above the heel to end around the lower calf area to form an anchor. Then, it moved diagonally down across the mid-foot. Placebo: 10cm long tape was applied on the lateral side of the leg, just above the lateral malleolus and aligned with peroneus longus tendon

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Proprioception
Measure the Range of motion Standard error at three different range of motion angles (10° dorsiflexion, neutral position, 10° plantarflexion, and 20° plantarflexion).
Measured: 2 Months
Balance
The Y-Balance test was used to evaluate balance.
Measured: 2 Months
Vertical Jump Distance
The vertical jump tester (Sports Imports, Columbus, OH)
Measured: 2 Months

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
Proprioception (time frame: 2 Months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 May 2020.
