This study enrolled 30 patients (age 25.5 \u00b1 8.0 years) with grade I and II ankle sprains, which occurred 7\u201321 days before enrolment. Postural stability (balance, coordination, feedback) was assessed before and after the application of dynamic tape using a stabilographic platform. Three 32-s exercises were performed on the stabilographic platform, one with eyes open, one with eyes closed and one with visual feedback. After the application of dynamic tape, an improvement was observed in terms of the mean radius of sway (4.2 \u00b1 1.3 mm vs. 3.4 \u00b1 0.9 mm; p = 0.012) and coordination (48.8 \u00b1 19.2% vs. 59.3 \u00b1 5.8%; p = 0.021). Selected balance parameters did not improve significantly in the tests with open and closed eyes. Asymmetric load improved for all tests, but significant differences were only observed with eyes closed (34.9 \u00b1 24.4 vs. 41.7 \u00b1 30.5; p &lt; 0.01). We concluded that the use of dynamic tape after an ankle sprain significantly improved balance and coordination on a stable surface. The benefits were shown in terms of a significant improvement in the asymmetric load of the injured limb in comparison to the healthy limb during the test with closed eyes and a considerable improvement in the asymmetric load that was evaluated with visual feedback on a stable surface.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19095291","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,27]],"date-time":"2022-04-27T13:40:57Z","timestamp":1651066857000},"page":"5291","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["In Patients with Grade I and II Ankle Sprains, Dynamic Taping Seems to Be Helpful during Certain Tasks, Exercises and Tests in Selected Phases of the Rehabilitation Process: A Preliminary Report"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3490-1320","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u0141ukasz","family":"Pawik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy in Motor Disorders and Dysfunctions, Faculty of Physiotherapy, Wroclaw University of Health and Sport Sciences, 51-612 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6888-0011","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Malwina","family":"Pawik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy in Surgical Medicine and Oncology, Faculty of Physiotherapy, Wroclaw University of Health and Sport Sciences, 51-612 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emilia","family":"Wysocza\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy in Motor Disorders and Dysfunctions, Faculty of Physiotherapy, Wroclaw University of Health and Sport Sciences, 51-612 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Schabowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy in Motor Disorders and Dysfunctions, Faculty of Physiotherapy, Wroclaw University of Health and Sport Sciences, 51-612 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7587-666X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr","family":"Morasiewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medical Sciences, Department of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, University Hospital in Opole, University of Opole, 45-401 Opole, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4323-7134","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Felicja","family":"Fink-Lwow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Massage and Physical Therapy, Faculty of Physiotherapy, Wroclaw University of Health and Sport Sciences, 51-612 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1496","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2016-096189","article-title":"Evidence review for the 2016 International Ankle Consortium consensus statement on the prevalence, impact and long-term consequences of lateral ankle sprains","volume":"50","author":"Gribble","year":"2016","journal-title":"Br.
