📄 Abstract: Health specialists suggest a conservative approach comprising non-pharmacological interventions as the initial course of action for individuals with repetitive ankle sprain due to ankle instability. This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of biomechanical devices (Foot Orthoses, Ankle Orthoses, and Taping) on gait and muscle activity in individuals with ankle instability. A systematic search was performed on electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Clinical Trials.gov, Web of Science, and Scopus. The PEDro scoring system was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies. We extracted data from population, intervention, and outcome measures. In the initial search, we found 247 articles. After following the steps of the PRISMA flowchart, only 22 reports met the inclusion criteria of this study. The results show that biomechanical device therapy may increase swing time, stance time, and step. Additionally, studies suggest that these devices can reduce plantar flexion, inversion, and motion variability during gait. Biomechanical devices have the potential to optimize the subtalar valgus moment, push-off, and braking forces exerted during walking, as well as enhance the activity of specific muscles including the peroneus longus, peroneus brevis, tibialis anterior, gluteus medius, lateral gastrocnemius, rectus femoris, and soleus. Biomechanical devices affect gait (spatiotemporal, kinetic, and kinematic variables) and lower limb muscle activity (root mean square, reaction time, amplitude, reflex, and wave) in subjects with ankle instability.
