33、but more importantly lack of neuromuscular training.,This means the person has not retrained the body to recognize where the ankle and foot are during motion.,This sets up the body part to be re-injured due to improper feedback to the brain about body position.,Injury Prevention,Neuromuscular Contr

36、endon.,Injury Prevention,Footwear is something often overlooked but improper footwear can predispose someone with a foot condition such as pes planus(flat feet)to be more prone to having problems with their feet and ankles.,Preventative Taping and Orthosis,Taping is often post injury treatment.Some
37、will argue that taping will weaken the ankle.This has not been proven without a doubt but exercise and strengthening of the ankle is always advised.,Othotics will help rectify conditions that are permanent and will not be fixed by any other means.,Tape vs.Brace,Why choose one over another,Taping may
38、 be more time consuming over brace,Braces may or may not allow more support over tape,Tape allows more functional movement and often feels more stable,Tape will loosen with time,Braces will often loosen with time,It really is based on the quality of the brace vs.the ability of the person to tape.Both have advantages and disadvantages.,
