Backgrounds and Objective: The purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping® (KT) and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on AS in such individuals.
Materials & methods: Thirty-one athletes with a unilateral ligamentous ankle sprain from various sports were allocated to either KT (N=16) or NMES (N=15) groups. During five consecutive days, KT was applied over the ankle medial and lateral surface in a Fan cut pattern; however, NMES was performed for Tibialis Anterior and Gastrocnemius muscles in 30 minutes. Outcome measurements to evaluate the extent of AS included volumetry, perimetry, relative volumetry, and the difference in both ankles volumetry and perimetry at baseline, after receiving the interventions, and 15 days following the treatment completion.

Intervention groups

Description
Intervention group 1: إased on the sheet by the person that a number written on it was (number 1 represents the electrical stimulation group and the number 2 represents the group Kinesiotape), the two treatment groups neuromuscular electrical stimulation (n = 18) and Kinesiotape (n = 17) groups. interventions were done during 5 days. Electrical stimulation of neuromuscular electrical stimulation device in the new company 710 P model comes with four electrodes were used. The interventions were as follows: one in the supine position to sleep and affected leg above heart level are high and on a seat placed using a rubber band tightly around the ankle it was connected. To minimize any movement of the ankle joint, the foot was placed against the wall. The type of electrode used in this study was Carbonflex disk with a thickness of 10 cm are made of carbon rubber and covered by a foam pad were not put directly on the skin. Two electrodes on muscle bulk and two electrodes were placed on the tibialis anterior muscle. Feeling that the person will experience during the application process, he explained. Each of the two electrodes placed on the muscles targeted by a separate cable to two output devices was connected directly. Low-voltage electrical stimulation applied with rectangular waves (Rectangular waveform) with Modulation in frequency and duration of pulses were applied. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation test time by 30 minutes (360 cycles of 5 seconds) was determined. Each cycle of 400 pulses with different combinations of pulse period to the next pulse (Pulse-to-pulse intervals) and size it was time. The average frequency of 80 Hz electrical stimulation was calculated, but actually received electrical stimulation in Burst of short-term muscle contractions that cause for every 25/1 seconds (8.0 Hz) was. During each Burst, a pulse duration between 60 and 240 Myly¬Sanyh varied and ranged from pulse to pulse the next 8 ms (125 Hz), respectively.

Description
Intervention group 2: Intervention in Kinesio taping (n=17) using tapes with a width of 5 cm Kinesio taping Tem Tex model and a thickness of 5 mm was carried out. High adhesion and is also waterproof with minimal skin irritation, the model was chosen because it was, because in this study Strips for 5 days on the body, and separating it from the skin during this time for researchers were important. kinesio taping applies for Fan cut the pattern. Days before the Kinesio taping person was asked to create maximum adhesion, to shave the hair area. For intervention, subjects were placed in the supine position and 13 cm above the ankle 10 cm high external and internal ankle injured ankle was checked. Another brigade that was on the inside of the ankle was cut to the size of the type.Kinesio taping both domestic and foreign bands marked the start of the leg and the foot metatarsal stress were 20 percent will continue. kinesiotape bar with four bars became thinner and each of them was placed a distance of about 1 cm from the adjacent bar. Kiesiotape bar slightly toward the inner surface of Tibia miles and sort order of the bands was as follows: the internal malleolus, on the inner ankle, ankle domestic front, and in line with the little finger.
