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.
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.
