Summary

34 volunteer professional volleyball players with (n=12) and without (n=22) CAI will include in the study. Mulligan ankle taping will apply. Measurements will take before and after the intervention. Muscle tone, stiffness, and elasticity will measure with MyotonPRO hand-held device. The static balance will measure with single leg stance test(SLST) while the eyes-closed, dynamic balance will measure with the Y balance test(YBT). Single leg hopping test(SLHT) will evaluate performance and an active position sense test will use for JPS. During the static and dynamic balance and performance tests, the ankle's confidence will be evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The study aimed to determine the effect of Mulligan fibular taping over the Tibialis Anterior(TA), Peroneus Longus(PL), Gastrocnemius Lateralis(GCL), and Medialis(GCM) muscles on muscle tone, stiffness, elasticity, as well as the performance, joint position sense(JPS), static and dynamic balance in female volleyball players with and without chronic ankle instability(CAI).
