title: Comparative radiological study of the influence of ankle joint strapping and - - taping on ankle stability*.
abstract: A comparative radiological study was carried out to test the stabilizing value of ankle strapping and taping on unstable tibiotalar joints. Unstable ankle joints of 51 sportsmen were examined without bandages, with strapping, and with taping before and after an activity program. The use of taping proved to give the greatest decrease of the talar tilt angle. This improvement was still greater, even after activity, than the stabilization obtained by strapping, before any activity. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 1985;7(3):110-114.
