Effect of Ankle Taping on Knee and Ankle Joint Biomechanics in Sporting Tasks

By limiting motion at the ankle, taping increased mechanical stability at this joint. Ankle taping also provided protective benefits to the knee via reduced internal rotation moments and varus impulses during both planned and unplanned maneuvers. Medial collateral and anterior cruciate ligament injuries may occur through increased valgus impulse during sidestepping undertaken with ankle tape.
