Figure 1. Schematic representation of taping technique. (A) Two strips of adhesive tape around the ankle about 5 and 10 centimeters above the lateral and medial malleoli were attached, and another tape strip was placed, passing over the medial malleolus, heel and lateral malleolus and attaching the tips of this tape to the support base, while maintaining the ankle in dorsiflexion and eversion. (B) Another two tape strips were applied to the instep, passing diagonally around the mid-foot, while also maintaining the ankle in dorsiflexion and eversion. A further strip was also placed across the instep, passing around the mid-foot, and over the lateral malleolus, and attaching it to the support base. (C) Another two tape strips were applied over the two support bases.
