Functional Ankle Instability Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Balance Training in People With Functional Ankle Instability
Ankle sprain is the most occurring sport related injury. In addition, 40% of the people who
sustain such an injury display residual symptoms under the general denominator functional
ankle instability (FAI). In literature, there is already given a lot of attention to
extrinsic and intrinsic risk factors of FAI. Furthermore, there is a major focus on the
possible interventions which may be able to reduce the chance of developing chronic
instability. At this moment there is a lack of unequivocality.
In this study the investigators address the question of what is the effect of a balance
training programme on the movement strategy. Therefore kinematics, kinetics, plantar
pressure measurements and muscle activity are taken in consideration The purpose of this
study is a better insight in the effect of treatment on the residual symptoms related to
FAI.
