Meta-Analysis Data on Kinesio Taping Effects for Chronic Ankle Instability

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 8 studies involving 190 participants from 4 countries/regions, quantifying the effects of Kinesio taping on dynamic balance in individuals with chronic ankle instability. The dataset includes standardized mean differences for outcomes like the Y-balance test and Star Excursion Balance Test scores. It was authored by Shilong Meng and last updated on 27 April 2026.

Use Cases

• Conducting secondary meta-analyses based on the reported standardized mean differences and confidence intervals.
• Evaluating the efficacy of Kinesio taping on specific balance test directions mentioned in the description.
• Assessing study quality and evidence certainty using the referenced Cochrane and GRADE frameworks.

Strengths

• Includes results from 8 randomized controlled or crossover trials.
• Reports specific statistical outcomes, such as a standardized mean difference of 0.269 for YBT total score.
• Uses established quality assessment tools (Cochrane Risk of Bias, GRADE).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 12.0 KB, indicating limited scope.
