ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To investigate differences in rigid-foot and multi-segmental foot kinematics between healthy (control) and chronic ankle instability (CAI) participants during running and to evaluate the effect of low-Dye (LD) and high-Dye (HD) taping on foot kinematics of CAI subjects.DESIGN:
Cross-sectional, comparative study.METHODS:
Kinematic data of 12 controls and 15 CAI participants were collected by a 3D motion analysis system during running. CAI participants performed barefoot (CAI_BF) running trials as well as trials with taping. A rigid Plug-in gait Model and the Rizzoli 3D Multi-Segment Foot Model were used. Groups were compared using one-dimensional statistical parametric mapping.RESULTS:
An increased inversion, a decreased dorsiflexion between the foot and tibia and a decreased external foot progression angle were found during terminal swing and early stance in the CAI_BF group. With respect to the taped conditions, post-hoc SPM{t} calculations highlighted a more dorsiflexed rearfoot (38-46% running cycle) in the CAI_HD compared to the CAI_LD, and a more inverted Mid-Met angle (6-24% running cycle) in the CAI_LD compared to the CAI_BF condition.CONCLUSIONS:
This study revealed significant differences in rigid foot and multi-segmental foot kinematics between all groups. As high-dye taping embraces shank-rearfoot and forefoot, it seems to have better therapeutic features with respect to low-dye taping as the latter created a more inverted forefoot which may not be recommended in this population.Palavras-chave
