Standard 2-inch (5-cm) Kinesio® Tex (Kinesio Holding Corporation, Albuquerque, NM) Tape was used for all applications in both groups. A certified KT practitioner (BST) did the all taping procedures. KT was applied bilaterally to the ankle joints. To ensure blinding of the assessor (MÖ), taping procedure was done in a separate room and subjects wore their socks after the application. The tape remained in place for 24 hours duration and subjects were instructed to participate in their normal daily activities, except shower.
