Interventions

Group 1: Gait kinematics of the entire body, measured with the Lukotronic Gait Lab - in the beginning of the trail, reflective markers are placed on the participants on prominent bone points (like C7,

Eligibility

Sex/Gender

All

Age

18 Years to 80 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: healthy subjects (age 18-80years), leg axis position not relevant, BMI not relevant

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
the effect of taping (kinesiotape, non-elastic tape) on the gait kinematics (articular range of motion and the stiffness)	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
- the impact of ankle tapes on the gait kinematics of the entire body - Weight, age, gender - individual gait pattern - Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool - after each measurement the subject has to answer a couple of questions about the effects of the tape on their gait kinematics (for example: did the tape change your gait kinematics?) - Creation of ankle tapes by different physical therapists	—
