First, an I-shaped tape was applied from the talus to the calcaneus in a mild dorsiflexion position for posterior talar glide (Fig. 1A). Second, an I-shaped tape was applied from 5 cm above the lateral malleolus, over the medial calcaneus, to the inside of the instep of the foot in an eversion position to prevent painful inversion (Fig. 1B-C). Third, an I-shaped tape was applied using the same method as that used for the second tape to reinforce prevention of painful inversion and allow ankle eversion (Fig. 1D-E). Fourth, an I-shaped tape was applied using the same method as that used for the first tape to reinforce posterior talar glide and provide ankle support (Fig. 1F).
