What this Trial Is About
The goal of this study is to investigate whether there exists a difference in baropdometric readings of plantar pressure between individuals with chronic ankle instability and normal health individuals, in addition another goal of this study is to investigate the effect of rigid taping vs. kinesio taping on plantar pressure distribution as well as stability markers in individuals with chronic ankle instability. The main questions aimed to answer are: 1. Is there a difference in plantar pressure distribution between individuals with chronic ankle instability and individuals without chronic ankle instability? 2. What effect do rigid and kinesio taping have on plantar pressure distribution and ankle stability markers? 3. Which tape affects plantar pressure distribution and ankle stability better? Participants will: Firstly be divided into two macro groups, one with chronic ankle instability and one without, with an observational part of the study to be carried out to investigate the differences in plantar pressure between both groups. Secondly, the group with chronic ankle instability will be divided into two micro groups one receiving rigid taping and the other receiving kinesio taping, and the immediate effects of these tapes in terms of plantar pressure and ankle stability will be recorded and compared before and after within groups, and after between both groups.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- A history of at least 1 significant ankle sprain
- The initial sprain must have occurred at least 12 months before study enrollment

- Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool: score of 24 or less
You will not qualify if you...
- A history of previous surgeries to the musculoskeletal structures in either lower extremity
- A history of a fracture in either lower extremity requiring realignment
- Acute injury to musculoskeletal structures of other joints of the lower extremity in the previous 3 months that impacted joint integrity and function resulting in at least 1 interrupted day of desired physical activity
