About this study
Official title: Effect of Innominate Rigid Taping on Gait and Balance in Patients With Unilateral Chronic Ankle Instability Associated With Pelvic Torsion
Ankle sprain is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries, with a high incidence among physically active individuals. acute ankle sprains associated with the development of chronic ankle instability (CAI) which has been found to affect the whole lower quarter kinetic chain. This chronicity decrease the physical activity level and quality of life, All these consequences cost the patients physically, emotionally, socially and financially. Purpose: To investigate the effect of corrected pelvic torsion using rigid taping on gait parameters and balance in patients with unilateral CAI associated with pelvic torsion.

Background: Ankle sprain is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries, with a high incidence among physically active individuals. acute ankle sprains associated with the development of chronic ankle instability (CAI) which has been found to affect the whole lower quarter kinetic chain. This chronicity decrease the physical activity level and quality of life, All these consequences cost the patients physically, emotionally, socially and financially. Purpose: To investigate the effect of corrected pelvic torsion using rigid taping on gait parameters and balance in patients with unilateral CAI associated with pelvic torsion. Materials and Methods: 22 subjects from both genders were assessed for the presence of unilateral CAI associated with pelvic torsion , gait and balance were assessed using teckscan walkway assessment system and biodex balance system then rigid tape applied to the anteriorly tilted innominate then gait and balance reassessed again immediately after taping ,after one week and after two weeks.

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?
Overall Stability Index measured by Biodex Balance System (time frame: Baseline, immediately post-intervention(Day 1), one week post-intervention(week 1), two weeks post-intervention(week 2)). The study lists 7 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 5 Sep 2025.
