Examining the Effect of the Mulligan Concept Fibular Repositioning Taping Technique After a Lateral Ankle Sprain

Ankle sprains are one of the most common ankle injuries in active populations. The most prevalent mechanism of injury is a combination of inversion and adduction of the foot while in plantar flexion.1,2 This mechanism may cause tissue disruption to the lateral ligament complex of the ankle with the increased tension most commonly affecting the anterior talofibular ligament.3,4 Australian physiotherapist Brian Mulligan suggested that this mechanism does not always damage the anterior talofibular ligament tissue. Instead, the resulting tissue tension causes the anterior talofibular ligament to
