Objective: To study athletes' perceptions of adhesive ankle taping. Design: A qualitative study where athletes were interviewed regarding adhesive ankle taping. Setting: The University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, ND, USA. Participants: Eleven collegiate athletes, all currently taping their ankles, representative of three groups: recent injury, past injury, and no prior injury. Results: Taping resulted in feelings of increased confidence, increased strength, and decreased anxiety for injury or reinjury. Differences were found in responses given by the participants in the three groups. Conclusions: Taping has a psychological impact on athletes. Athletic trainers should make sure they educate athletes about the uses and functions of adhesive tape. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
