Brief summary: kinesio taping would reduce pain, improve gait performance, and enhance the functional capacity of turf toe patients undergoing physical therapy

Detailed description: Health practitioners have recently become interested in using kinesiology taping in clinical practice as an alternative to traditional taping and bracing procedures for treating a variety of diseases, including sprain of metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe. Patients with turf toe can benefit from kinesiology tape because it offers therapeutic support and stability while preserving a normal range of motion.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* comprised athletes with 2nd grade turf toe.
* medically stable.
* had foot pain for more than a month prior to enrollment.
* didn't have persistent, incapacitating pain.
* had a doctor's note approving their decision to stop taking painkillers during the research.

Exclusion Criteria:

* if they had any surgical intervention before.
* range of motion limitation in the ankle joint.
* inability to exercise.
* systemic disease.
* any other orthopedic problem at ankle joints.
