Abstract
The key to success in football games are from fully performing athletes and the injuries during the match are undeniably the most problematic to the sport performance, especially ankle instability from the recurrent ankle sprain. Objectives: The aims of this study are to compare the two techniques of kinesiology taping to promote ankle stability in a male football player with chronic ankle instability. Methodology: forty participants selected from professional football players with chronic ankle instability were treated by three different KT techniques; Kenzo Kase’s technique, new technique and placebo technique. They were randomly treated by 1 technique per day. The measurement of modified star excursion balance test (mSEBT) in the anterior, posterolateral and posteromedial directions was tested before and after every taping application. Normalized reach distances of mSEBT was used to determine the ankle stability. Results and Discussion: Normalized reach distances in new technique showed a statistically significant increased (p < 0.05) in Posterolateral and Posteromedial directions. Two other techniques were found to improve normalized reach distance but not found a significant difference (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The new technique had a tendency to promote ankle stability more than the other techniques.

Dear Chairat Phuaklikhit,
Thank you for your nice presentation and useful work. Although your presentation are quite informative, I have few queries regarding your work as mentioned below.
1. In your research, you treated the football players with chronic ankle instability by three KT techniques i.e., Kenzo Kase’s technique, new technique and placebo technique. My quesion is for new technique that you used. Is this technique was developed by you or identified stanard technique based on the literature review? You mentioned that you used 50% force around ankle joint in the new technique, what is the reason of using 50% force? Why not 60% or 40% tapping force?
2. In your view, do you think your result regarding new technique can be applicable and generalized for football players with chronic ankle instability worldwide? why or why not?
Thank you in advance for your answers to my questions.
Thank you for your attention, the questions are answered below:
1. the new technique was developed by our research team by the concept from the literature review. from a previous study, they found the taping application that can enhance ankle stability was to correct all ankle joint components such as talocrural joint and subtalar joint, especially to the talus posterior gliding. moreover the movement of the ankle joint which often injury was correct in a normal alignment. And about the applied force, the range of force that we normally used for the compression force to enhance joint stability was 50-75% then 60% force can also use but 40% can not. however, for the protocol of the research 60% of the force is rather difficult to fix in every subject. 50% of the force is a half stretch of the tape as it can was accurately estimate. but if you want to use in clinical you can use any of 50% to 75%
2. The result of this study can use for chronic ankle instability athletes worldwide. this technique can use to a generally applied for every case but in each case will have an individual condition that different from the others. the clinical test must be recheck for the impairment and severity. we can add more tape to specific for each condition.
Dear AJ. Chairat
Participants recruits into research that interest ankle sprain only inversion mechanisms or all direction?
Dear Anyamanee
We recruit both inversion and eversion ankle sprain, which had a problem of chronic ankle instability. Assess by the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) and special test for assessment the ankle laxity; anterior drawer test, and talar tilt test
Thank you for your question
