About this study
This study aims to investigate the acute effects of multilayer short-stretch bandaging applied to the lower limbs on balance in healthy adults.
Read the detailed description
This study aims to investigate the acute effects of multilayer short-stretch bandaging applied to the lower limbs on balance in healthy adults. Balance is assessed before bandage application and after bandaging each lower limb. Participants are randomly assigned to the order of bandage application, with the right or left lower limb bandaged first. After the first post-bandaging balance assessment, the bandage is removed and applied to the opposite lower limb, followed by another balance assessment.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Multilayer Short-Stretch BandagingOther
A multilayer short-stretch bandage was applied to one lower limb. Following bandage application, balance was assessed. The bandage was then removed before application to the contralateral lower limb. The order of right and left lower-limb bandaging was randomized.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Arm 1 - Right-to-Left Sequence | Experimental | Participants first received multilayer short-stretch bandaging on the right lower limb, followed by a balance assessment. The bandage was then removed, and the same bandaging procedure was applied to the left lower limb, followed by a second balance assessment. Receives: Other: Multilayer Short-Stretch Bandaging |
| Arm 2 - Left-to-Right Sequence | Experimental | Participants first received multilayer short-stretch bandaging on the left lower limb, followed by a balance assessment. The bandage was then removed, and the same bandaging procedure was applied to the right lower limb, followed by a second balance assessment. Receives: Other: Multilayer Short-Stretch Bandaging |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Center of Pressure Path Length
Center of pressure (CoP) path length was measured in millimeters (mm) using K-Force Plates (KINVENT, Montpellier, France). Measurements were performed under bipedal eyes-open, bipedal eyes-closed, and unilateral right- and left-leg stance conditions. Measurements were obtained before bandage application and immediately after multilayer short-stretch bandage application to each lower limb. Lower values indicate less postural sway.
Measured: At baseline and immediately after each bandage application
Anteroposterior Path Length
Anteroposterior (AP) path length was assessed using K-Force Plates (KINVENT, Montpellier, France) during static balance testing. It represents the total displacement of the center of pressure in the anteroposterior direction and was recorded in millimeters (mm).
Measured: At baseline and immediately after each bandage application
Mediolateral Path Length
Mediolateral (ML) path length was assessed using K-Force Plates (KINVENT, Montpellier, France) during static balance testing. It represents the total displacement of the center of pressure in the mediolateral direction and was recorded in millimeters (mm).
Measured: At baseline and immediately after each bandage application
Center of Pressure Ellipse Area
Center of pressure (CoP) ellipse area was measured in square millimeters (mm²) using K-Force Plates (KINVENT, Montpellier, France). Measurements were performed under bipedal eyes-open, bipedal eyes-closed, and unilateral right- and left-leg stance conditions. Measurements were obtained before bandage application and immediately after multilayer short-stretch bandage application to each lower limb. Lower values indicate a smaller area of postural sway.
Measured: At baseline and immediately after each bandage application
Center of Pressure Mean Velocity
Center of pressure (CoP) mean velocity was measured in millimeters per second (mm/s) using K-Force Plates (KINVENT, Montpellier, France). Measurements were performed under bipedal eyes-open, bipedal eyes-closed, and unilateral right- and left-leg stance conditions. Measurements were obtained before bandage application and immediately after multilayer short-stretch bandage application to each lower limb. Lower values indicate slower postural sway.
Measured: At baseline and immediately after each bandage application
Anteroposterior Amplitude
Anteroposterior (AP) amplitude was assessed using K-Force Plates (KINVENT, Montpellier, France) during static balance testing. It represents the magnitude of center of pressure displacement in the anteroposterior direction and was recorded in millimeters (mm).
Measured: At baseline and immediately after each bandage application
Mediolateral Amplitude
Mediolateral (ML) amplitude was assessed using K-Force Plates (KINVENT, Montpellier, France) during static balance testing. It represents the magnitude of center of pressure displacement in the mediolateral direction and was recorded in millimeters (mm).
Measured: At baseline and immediately after each bandage application
Anteroposterior Mean Velocity
Anteroposterior (AP) mean velocity was assessed using K-Force Plates (KINVENT, Montpellier, France) during static balance testing. It represents the mean velocity of center of pressure displacement in the anteroposterior direction and was recorded in millimeters per second (mm/s).
Measured: At baseline and immediately after each bandage application
Mediolateral Mean Velocity
Mediolateral (ML) mean velocity was assessed using K-Force Plates (KINVENT, Montpellier, France) during static balance testing. It represents the mean velocity of center of pressure displacement in the mediolateral direction and was recorded in millimeters per second (mm/s).
Measured: At baseline and immediately after each bandage application
Secondary outcomes (1)
Participant Comfort
Participant comfort associated with multilayer short-stretch bandaging was assessed using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
Measured: Immediately after each bandage application

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. 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?
Center of Pressure Path Length (time frame: At baseline and immediately after each bandage application). The study lists 9 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 Oct 2026.
