Observational Study
Is ankle taping effective to limit the ankle dorsiflexion in a single-training session? An observational study in semi-professional basketball players.
Ankle taping (AT) is effective in preventing ankle sprain injuries in most common sports and is employed in rehabilitation and prevention sports. ⋯ Ankle taping effectively decreased the ankle dorsiflexion ROM in male and female basketball players immediately after application. However, ROM restriction was very low after 30 and 90 min, as assessed in a single basketball practice.
