Prognosis | Taping of the ankle joint

Prognosis

The effect with the ankle joint taping has not been clearly proven in medical studies, however a large experience of Physiotherapeuten and sport medical profession speaks for the fact that taping has clearly positive effect regarding prevention and therapy. Thus the risk of injury is reduced and higher volumes can be trained e.g. when playing soccer or jogging. As part of the treatment of injuries, it supports the regeneration of ligaments and joints in the ankle joint.

However, incorrect use can have negative consequences. Thus, apart from minor complaints and for prevention, a medical examination of the ankle joint should be performed before applying a tape. The correct technique should also be applied.
