Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: Soccer is a sport that attracts many participants and leads to a substantial number of injuries, especially of the ankle. Enhancement of functional joint stability by kinesio taping proprioceptive training may be important both in prevention and rehabilitation of ankle injuries. The main aim of this study was to determine the effect of kinesio taping and proprioceptive exercises on parameters related to ankle stability, such as the injury incidence, pain, static or dynamic stability and flexibility, in amateur soccer players training 3 times a week.
