摘要：Background: Chronic ankle Instability is characterized by recurrent giving way and often develops after repeated lateral ankle sprains.Kinesiotape is more elastic than traditional athletic tape and is becoming increasingly popular. It is reported to decrease pain, improve muscle function, circulation and proprioception, however, research examining the effects of Kinesiotape in chronic ankle instability is limited. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if applying Kinesiotape to chronic unstable ankle may improve performance in the five functional tests -figure-of-8 hop test, side-hop test, square hop test ,single hop test, and 6 meter cross over test, which has been shown to be a sensitive and reliable measure for measuring functional performance, neuromuscular coordination, and joint stability. Method: Twenty five college level basketball players with chronic ankle instability were participated in this study. Functional performance tests are used to test the subject s joint stability under four conditions; without taping, with placebo taping, with athletic tape and with kinesio tape. Players were excluded if they had any fracture or dislocation to lower extremity. Result: Pair wise comparison of the outcome measures in the four occasions (without taping, with placebo taping, with athletic taping, and with kinesio taping) revealed statistically significant differences in all functional performance test (p=0.001). Moreover, pair wise comparison of the chronic ankle stability outcomes using athletic taping versus kinesio taping indicated a statistically significant difference (p
