Objective: Most biomechanical research on the application of Kinesio taping (KT) to the ankle joint focused on testing anticipated movements. However, ankle sprains frequently occur in real life in unanticipated situations, where individuals are unprepared and face sudden external stimuli. This situation...
pain when taking the first steps in the morning or taking a break and walking, no deformation of the ankle joint, without cognitive impairment or communication problems,
