Effect of athletic taping and kinesiotaping on measurements of functional performance in basketball players with chronic inversion ankle sprains
Instructions: While applying the peroneus longus muscle support tape application, the athlete’s position was supine or long sitting. The base of the tape was applied to the plantar surface of the base of the 1st metatarsal. The ankle was plantar flexed and inverted to increase tissue tension while tape was applied over the path of the peroneus longus tendon, passing behind the lateral malleolus and ending on the fibular head. The taping method for peroneus brevis muscle differs from that of the peroneus longus; the ankle is dorsiflexed and inverted to increase tissue tension. The rest of the tape was applied along the path of the peroneus muscles and attached to fibular head.
For the tibiofibular ligament support technique with tape, athletes extended their knee and dorsiflexed their ankle. Then, tape was applied to medial malleolus. After stabilizing the tape, it was pulled with light (25%) tension towards to lateral malleolus (through anterior part of ankle) by covering the anterior and posterior tibiofibular ligaments and the end of the technique tape was attached with no tension.
