Prescriptions for functional ankle instability are generally oriented to taping, which need to be validated as an efficient treatment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of ankle taping on the subject’s foot pressure and gait pattern, including mediolateral analysis, according to tape application side. A sample of 20 right-handed healthy subjects volunteered to participate in this study, which was composed of 3 taping conditions: “with taping of the right ankle,” “with taping of both ankles,” and “with taping of the left ankle.” Participants were asked to perform a walk on the walkway to get 2 footprints repeated 6 times. The variables measured were step length, step duration, double stance, and swing. The results clearly showed significant change in step duration and double phase when tape was applied to the left ankle, F(2, 54) = 12.03; P < .05. Significant changes were also observed for step length and swing when tape was applied to the both ankles, F(2, 54) = 10.71; P < .05]. This study showed that double stance and swing phase duration increases, and that the pressure is equalized on both feet when taping the unstable ankle. Taping a functionally unstable ankle is more likely to improve its stability. Levels of Evidence: Therapeutic Level II: Prospective comparative trial

Mots clés : Os cuboïde ; Régulation posturale ; Chaîne articulaire ; Articulation coxo-fémorale Introduction.— Comprendre l’impact de la mobilité du pied sur la chaîne articulaire du membre inférieur fournit une meilleure connaissance pour l’estimation des dysfonctions locomotrices et posturales [1,2]. Le but de notre étude a été de déterminer les effets produits par la mobilité en rotation médiale de l’os cuboïde sur l’articulation coxo-fémorale et le contrôle de la régulation posturale. Méthodes.— Dix participants sains (24,59 ± 4,56 ans) ont été sollicités pour maintenir une posture érigée pendant 30 s suivant quatre conditions différentes : « pieds nus », « chaussures sans orthèse », « chaussures avec orthèses plantaires neutres », et enfin « chaussures avec orthèses plantaires de correction ». Les conditions ont été randomisées, répétées trois fois et enregistrées à la fois par un système de capture de mouvement (6 caméras VICON®) et par une plateforme de forces (AMTI® OR 6—7). Résultats.— Les résultats de l’étude cinématique ont montré une augmentation de 1,9◦ de la rotation médiale au niveau de l’articulation coxo-fémorale. Conjointement, les résultats de l’étude cinétique ont révélé un recul du centre de gravité. Ces résultats suggèrent que l’équilibre du membre inférieur peut être altéré en modifiant la position de l’os cuboïde. Celui-ci, en modifiant la forme de la voûte plantaire impose au membre inférieur une adaptation posturale. Conclusion.— Les cliniciens doivent être attentifs à l’impact, mécanique et postural, d’une modification positionnelle du pied sur l’équilibre global de leurs patients.

Our objective is to introduce a new device designated to reduce shoulder dislocation (METHOD-2) compared to a manual technique (METHOD-1). Eighteen shoulders in 20 right-handed participants (22±5) were evaluated as nontraumatic posterior instability. Patients recorded scores ranging between 71.6 and 88.42% when performing the Japanese orthopaedic association shoulder scale (JOASS). Participants were divided into two groups of tens. A licensed physical therapist applied METHOD-1 on GROUP-1. As for GROUP-2, they completed two sets of 10 tractions and pulls using METHOD-2. Participants were asked to complete a relocating maneuver (METHOD-1 or METHOD-2) followed by a pain assessment (Borg-CR10) and a «Self-Assessment Manikin» (SAM). A retest was set 6 to 8 days later. The data collected were abduction, elevation, medial and lateral rotation goniometry, as well as, the scores obtained from the SAM and Borg-CR10 scales. A paired Student-T test was realized in order to compare test and retest results (p<.05). GROUP-1 procured a decrease in Borg-CR10 Scale (0.9) and an increase in the SAM scale (1.5). The gains of amplitude in GROUP-1 participants were significantly higher (p<.05) than those attained in GROUP-2 (p>.05). In conclusion, METHOD-2 had no shoulder relocating effects, but decreased the self-reported pain perception.
