The Effects of Unilateral Balance Training Among Athletes With Chronic

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of a 4-week, unilateral balance exercise training program on bilateral balance and explosive power in athletes with chronic ankle instability. The participants were randomly divided into Stable Ankle Training Group (SG) (n=9), Unstable Ankle Training Group (UG) (n=9) and control group (CG) (n=10). The balance exercise training program was administered for only the stable ankle of athletes in SG and only the unstable ankle of athletes in UG, twice a week and for a 4-week duration.

Clinical Trial Description

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of a 4-week, unilateral balance exercise training program on bilateral balance and explosive power in athletes with chronic ankle instability (CAI). The study included 28 volunteer athletes with a history of CAI who registered as a team player at Yeditepe University Culture and Sports Directorate February 2019 - June 2019. The severity of functional ankle instability of all the athletes was assessed by the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT). Functional limitations of the athletes with CAI were evaluated by Foot and Ankle Ability Measure Activity of Daily Living Subscale (FAAM-ADL) and Sports Subscale (FAAM-S). Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) was used to determine the static balance performance of athletes. Dynamic balance was evaluated by the Y Balance Test (YBT). Sport performance including vertical jumping and hopping was assessed with Single-Legged Countermovement Jump (CMJ) Test, Figure-of-Eight Hop Test, and Side Hop Test. The athletes were randomly divided into Rehabilitation for the Stable Ankle Group (SG) (n=9), Rehabilitation for the Unstable Ankle Group (UG) (n=9) and Control Group (CG) (n=10). Athletes in SG and UG were included balance exercise training program. The balance exercise training program was administered for only the stable ankle of athletes in SG and only the unstable ankle of athletes in UG, twice a week and for a 4-week duration. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
