| Source: Verbrugge JD: Journal of Orthopedic Sport Physical Therapy 23(5): 320-325, 1996 |
| Summary: The purpose of this study was to determine if Air-Stirrup ankle bracing and adhesive ankle taping differed in their effects on motor performance. The results showed that "both taping and bracing had no substantial effect on agility, sprinting speed, or vertical jumping ability… Upon completion of the study, the majority of subjects expressed a preference, based on comfort and ease of application, for the brace over tape". |
