Purpose: To examine the effect of biofeedback balance training combined with taping on the lower extremity muscle activity of badminton club members with chronic ankle instability. Methods: Thirty badminton club members were selected as the study participants and divided into a biofeedback balance training group combining taping (experimental group), and a general biofeedback balance training group (control group). Fifteen participants were randomly assigned. Additionally, the study participants implemented biofeedback balance training combining taping and general biofeedback balance training for 30 min five times a week over an 8-week period, after receiving general badminton training. Lower extremity muscle activity was analyzed before the intervention. The peroneus longus, peroneus brevis, and tibialis anterior were measured by maximum voluntary isometric contraction in the bare-handed muscle strength test to analyze the lower extremity muscle activity. The above outcomes were equally remeasured, and intergroup analysis was conducted after 8 weeks of intervention. Results: The biofeedback balance training group combining taping (experimental group) showed a significant difference in lower extremity muscle activity compared to the general biofeedback balance training group (control group) (p<0.05). Conclusion: Biofeedback training combining taping is more effective in improving lower extremity muscle activity. Basic data on the possibility of using taping and biofeedback in the field of sports rehabilitation of badminton players could be provided based on this study.
