Lateral Ankle Sprain Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Five-Toed Socks on Postural Control Among Active Individuals Who Have Chronic Ankle Instabilities
Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) is one of the most common injuries in sports. There is a unique style of socks that have become popular in Japan among athletes that could also improve postural control. The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of five-toed socks on dynamic postural control in individuals with and without chronic ankle instability.

Primary | Center of Pressure | The primary outcome measurement for this study will be to determine differences in Center of Pressure (COP) and static postural control patterns in individuals with and without CAI during the single limb balance test. Additionally, performance will be compared with eyes-open and eyes-closed. | separate testing days, one week apart | |
Secondary | reaching distances | The secondary outcome measurement for this study will be to determine differences in the mean value of the three reaching distances (the anterior, posterior lateral, and posterior medial direction) of the SEBT in individuals with and without chronic ankle instability. | separate testing days, one week apart |
