A Study to Find out the Effectiveness of Taping Versus Semi rigid Bracing in Ankle Sprain
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Ankle sprain is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries, accounting for an estimated 600.000 persons per year. Preventive interventions such as taping and bracing are thought to decrease ankle sprain incidence by providing mechanical support and enhanced proprioception may be associated with ankle injury. METHODS: A total number of 30 subjects were divided into 2 groups as group A and group B, in which each group consists of 15 subjects. The group A subjects will be subjected to ultrasound with taping for a period of five times a week for 3 weeks. The group B subjects will be subjected to splint with ultrasound for a period of five times a week for 3weeks. RESULTS: This study shows that there is significant difference at 95% of Confidence Intervals (p=0.41 i.e.>0.05) by using unpaired `t’ test in the effectiveness of Taping with ultrasound Technique versus semi rigid bracing with ultrasound on ankle sprain patients with specific ankle pain. CONCLUSION: This study shows that treatment of acute lateral ankle sprain with a semi-rigid brace with ultrasound leads to less complications and a higher patient satisfaction than treatment taping with ultrasound
