Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to determine and compare the effects of balance and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training on ankle function ability, functional instability severity, physical activity level, muscle strength, proprioception, stabilization, balance, reaction time and performance of amateur athletes with chronic ankle instability. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do balance and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training positively affect functionality, balance, stabilization, proprioception and performance in amateur athletes with chronic ankle sprains? - Does balance training or dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training have a more positive effect on functionality, balance, stabilization, proprioception and performance in amateur athletes with chronic ankle sprains? Participants will apply: - a dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training program consisting of a series of special exercises based on the developmental kinesiology steps of a healthy baby. - balance training which consist of an effective postural stability program. - conventional training program which consist of stretching, joint range of motion, strengthening and postural control exercises. Researchers will compare balance and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training to see if effectiveness of ankle function ability, functional instability severity, physical activity level, muscle strength, proprioception, stabilization, balance, reaction time and performance.
This study aims rigid tapping on chronic functional ankle instability in professional basketball players.
Chronic ankle instability was first defined by Freeman as recurrent ankle sprains following an ankle sprain and the feeling of dislocation in the ankle lasting longer than six months. The recurrence of ankle sprains in athletes leads to the realization of ankle instability. Functional ankle instability gives the feeling that a re-sprain will occur at any time due to decreased static and dynamic support in the joint.Neuro-vestibular-ocular exercises is an approach that combines neuromuscular training and vestibular-ocular training techniques.At the same time, we are doing this study because of the mixed studies on the effect of fascial relaxation on the performance and proprioception of a specific group of football players.

Study Design: Evaluation of the psychometric properties of a translated, culturally adapted questionnaire. Objective: Translating, culturally adapting, and validating the Italian version of the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT-I), allowing its use with Italian-speaking population to monitor both state of health and functional limitation deriving from ankle instability problems, in order to evaluate the degree of severity, without using the comparison with the opposite limb. Summary of Background Data: Lateral ankle sprain is the most common injury during sports activity, often cause of disability and of numerous complications following repeated episodes, including chronic ankle instability (CAI), which affects 32% to 74% of the aforementioned cases. Growing attention is devoted to standardized outcome measures to improve interventions for injured population. A translated form of the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT), a simple and specific tool for diagnosing chronic lateral ankle instability with excellent psychometric characteristics of both reliability and validity, has never been validated within the Italian speaking population.
There is evidence to support individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) have altered gait biomechanics which may lead to re-injury and poor patient outcomes. Currently, there are no interventions specifically targeting these abnormal gait biomechanics. Evidence supports the use of an external focus of attention feedback to promote motor learning and retention. The overall purpose of randomized clinical trial is to determine the effects of a 2-week (8 session) gait retraining protocol using an auditory external feedback instrument can (1) alter biomechanics during functional tasks (walking, step-down, lunge, lateral hops, and balance) (2) improve ankle cartilage measures and (3) improve patient-reported outcome measures.
Balance training with stroboscopic vision in patients with chronic ankle instability.
Although altered biomechanics has been well documented as an impairment associated with chronic ankle instability (CAI), effective interventions targeting biomechanics with long-term outcomes measuring patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are absent. Evidence suggests that external focus of attention (ExFOCUS), internal focus of attention (InFOCUS) feedback, and auditory feedback during movement training can alter biomechanics in other patient populations, with ExFOCUS and auditory enhancing retention of learned biomechanics. Therefore, this randomized controlled trial will determine if a 4-week (12 session) impairment-based rehabilitation program that includes feedback (ExFOCUS or InFOCUS or Auditory) can (1) decrease ankle inversion kinematics and lateral plantar pressure during walking and (2) improve self-reported function.
The goal of this study is evaluate the effect of uni-axial versus multidirectional balance training on muscle reaction time in subjects with chronic ankle instability. Muscle reaction time is measured on a trapdoor simulating an inversion sprain before and after a 6 week lasting balance training protocol.
