Effects of Hip Strength Training and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Functional Ankle Instability

Ankle Injuries and Disorders Clinical Trial

Official title: Study on the Effect of Hip Strength Training and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on the Intervention of Functional Ankle Instability of Sport

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of two methods of elevating hip muscle strength on functional ankle instability(FAI). . The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

• Whether hip strength training and neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the gluteal muscles, respectively, based on conventional ankle training improves dysfunction in patients with FAI?

• Is there a difference in the efficacy of the above two interventions for FAI?

Clinical Trial Description

Participants will be randomly divided into 3 groups (Experimental Group A, Experimental Group B and Control Group) to receive the intervention for 6 weeks. The Control Group will undergo conventional ankle interventions such as peri-ankle muscle strength training and ankle balance training; Experimental Group A will undergo hip muscle strength training based on the conventional training; and Experimental Group B will perform neuromuscular electrical stimulation of hip abductors and hip extensors based on the conventional training. Researchers will compare the three groups to see changes in hip muscle strength, lower extremity muscle activation, ankle muscle strength, proprioception, dynamic and static balance, and self-reported ankle function. ;
