<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Objectives. </strong>The purpose of this study was the importance of applying Kinesio tape (KT) in relieving the pain in athletes' ankles using Y balance test and star. </span></span></p>

At first athletes didn’t use kinesiology tape on their deltoid ligament and did the (Y) balance test in 3 directions, then star twirling test (SEBT) in 8 directions that focused on the center of one plexus. These tests were repeated 3 times and all the stages of them were recovered after 24 hours and then the tests done on a pad and on a solid surface. </span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Results. </strong>Athletes in both tests on a soft pad experienced a high pressure on their muscles according to the position of their leg in plantar and dorsiflexion state;and they couldn’t finish the test. </span></span></p>
