Ankle joint taping is a common prophylactic measure used by individuals involved in sports. Little information is available on the effects of ankle joint taping on biomechanical parameters in subjects with FI during functional activities such as jump landing. [1] Thus the aim of this study was to examine the effects of ankle joint taping and exercise on ankle joint frontal and sagittal plane movement in subjects with FI while they performed a jump landing technique.
