Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the applicability and effectiveness of capacitive and resistive Electric transfer (CRET) therapy in combination with balance training in improving ankle function, proprioception, and balance in patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can CRET therapy expedite the rehabilitation process for patients with chronic ankle instability? - Does the combination of CRET therapy and balance training yield superior efficacy to other interventions? This study involved 31 physically active participants with unilateral ankle instability, comprising 19 males and 12 females. The participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: the balance training group (B Group), the capacitive and resistive electric transfer group (CRET Group), and the balance training combined with the capacitive and resistive electric transfer group (B+CRET Group).
The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of thoracic mobility versus lumbopelvic stabilization exercises combined with ankle strengthening exercises with resistive band on patients with chronic ankle instability in terms of lower extremity flexibility, proprioception and dynamic balance.The participants were divided into two group as Thoracic Mobility group (n=15) and Lumbopelvic Stability group (n=15). In addition their exercise programs (2 times/wk, 8 wk duration), both groups were given home exercise ankle strengthening exercises.(3 sets/ 10 reps, 3 times/wk.)
Purpose: The primary aim of this study was to investigate subjects with chronic ankle instability regarding strength, balance and functional performance with an easily used test battery that required minimal equipment. A second aim was to evaluate which of these tests that has the highest ability to discriminate impaired function between injured and non-injured ankle in CAI subjects. Methods: This study was conducted with a cross-sectional design. A total of 20 (11 women) CAI subjects, engaged in sports, were tested for assessment of strength, balance and functional performance using the following tests; isometric strength in inversion and eversion, the single leg stance test (SLS), single leg hop for distance (SLHD) and side hop test. Additionally, 15 healthy subjects were tested with the same test battery for the evaluation of
Evaluation of trunk muscle strength in patients of chronic ankle instability
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of backward walking versus balance training in patients with chronic ankle instability. The main question it aims to answer is: Is there a difference between the effect of balance training and BW training on balance, ankle proprioception, risk of fall, and functional limitations in CAI patients?
The aim of the study is to compare the effects of neromuscular exercise combined with vestibulo-ocular reflex training on balance,isokinetic muscle strength and proprioception in subjects with ankle instability.The aim of the study is to compare the effects of neromuscular exercise combined with vestibulo-ocular reflex training on balance and isokinetic muscle strength in subjects with ankle instability. Hypotheses of the study; H0: Vestibulo-ocular reflex training protocol, which is given in addition to the neuromuscular exercise program, has an effect on isokinetic ankle muscle strength and balance in individuals with ankle instability. H1: Vestibulo-ocular reflex training protocol, which is given in addition to the neuromuscular exercise program, has no effect on isokinetic ankle muscle strength and balance in individuals with ankle instability.
Ankle sprains are the most common injury in basketball, especially involving repetitive maneuvers such as acceleration, deceleration, jumping, and landing. The incidence of ankle sprain is 40% in female basketball players and 75% in male basketball players. It is also known that chronic ankle instability (CAI) develops in 20-40% of cases. The effects of chronic ankle instability on core stabilization, dynamic balance and agility in basketball players have been investigated in the literature, and it has been stated that more studies are needed on the subject. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of chronic ankle instability on core stabilization, dynamic balance and agility in basketball players playing in the university team. The hypothesis of the study is that there is a difference between core stabilization, dynamic balance and agility values of basketball players playing in the university team with and without chronic ankle instability.
People with chronic ankle instability (CAI) demonstrate altered gait or walking mechanics which cause people to walk on the outside of their foot and increases the risk of additional ankle sprains, abnormal cartilage strain, and early joint degeneration. Evidence indicates that common treatments for CAI do not impact gait, leaving unresolved impairments that can lead to lifelong disability. Recent lab-based gait retraining with visual and auditory feedback has immediately improved walking mechanics. However, real-world training is hypothesized to generate long-term changes by incorporating short, frequent training sessions over a variety of surfaces. These are key training parameters to produce lasting change. Pilot data using real-world vibration feedback (RW-VF) suggest that a single session immediately improves walking mechanics with changes lasting for up to 5 minutes. Despite promising initial results, there remains a critical need to determine the impact of multiple RW-VF sessions as an initial step to developing a protocol capable of long-term improvements. The purpose of this proposal is to determine the extent to which 2-weeks of RW-VF restores gait biomechanics in those with CAI. Twenty people with CAI will be enrolled and complete a two-week gait retraining protocol with vibration feedback. Walking mechanics before, immediately after, and 1 week and 4 weeks following the training will be compared. These contributions can be significant as positive results will support a paradigm shift in treatments for people with CAI and lay the foundation for large scale clinical trials aimed at optimizing long term gains. The outcomes of future research have the potential to advance evidenced based rehabilitation interventions not only for people with CAI but also for people who have sustained a variety of musculoskeletal injuries as there is strong evidence that other lower extremity pathologies cause lifelong limitations, including changes in walking mechanics which lead to degenerative changes to other joints.
Patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) show biomechanical and neuromuscular alterations during the performance of functional movements not only at the ankle joint level, but also in more proximal joints and segments. Few studies have been conducted to investigate the effects of chronic ankle instability on neuromuscular control at the knee joint level. The aim of this study is to investigate whenther abnormalities exists in maximal and sub-maximal isometric muscle strength expression in patients with CAI.
The objective of this study was to compare the difference of plantar pressure distribution between surgical treatment and conservative treatment for CAI.
