Instructions: The taping was applied with the ankle in neutral position in 4 steps. Patients were in supine position in the first step and prone position in the other 3 steps of taping. The first strip of tape was placed from the anterior midfoot, stretched approximately to 120% of its maximum length and attached just below the fibular head over the tibialis anterior muscle. The second strip began from the heel and attached medial and lateral heads of gastrocnemius muscle. The third strip originated at the arch and stretched slightly above both the medial and lateral malleolus. The last strip stretched across the anterior ankle, covering both the medial and lateral malleolus.
