About this trial

To study the effect of adding Core stability exercise to the conventional Program of Chronic ankle instability on balance, Functional instability, and Performance in athletes with CAI

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Athletes having a history of chronic lateral ankle sprain during the offseason period.

A history of at least one significant ankle sprain (the initial sprain must have occurred at least more than 3 months prior to study enrollment, at least one interrupted day of desired physical activity.

Participants should report at least 2 episodes of giving way and/or recurrent sprain and/or feelings of instability in the 6 months prior to study enrollment.

Self-reported ankle instability should be confirmed using a validated ankle instability questionnaire, CAIT>24.

Disqualifiers

Those with a history of spine, pelvis, and lower extremity injury, fracture, or surgery.

Trial design

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • balance exercise

    Other intervention

    Balance exercises are physical activities designed to improve stability, coordination, and posture by challenging the body's ability to maintain an upright position. These exercises target the muscles and systems involved in balance, particularly the core, legs, and the sensory systems (like vision and proprioception).

  • Core stability exercises

    Other intervention

    Core stability exercises are physical activities designed to improve the strength, endurance, and coordination of the muscles that support and stabilize the spine, pelvis, and torso. These exercises specifically target the muscles of the abdomen, lower back, hips, and pelvis, collectively referred to as the "core." The goal is to enhance overall posture, prevent injury, and improve performance in daily activities or sports by increasing the body's ability to stabilize itself during movement.

Treatment groups

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Star Excursion Balance test

is a reliable functional test to evaluate dynamic postural control of the lower limb and distinguish CAI from copers and healthy individuals

Time frame
4 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Functional Instability

The Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool assesses ankle instability during activities of daily living and sports and is valid and reliable for determining the presence of CAI

Time frame
4 weeks
2

Functional Performance

Functional performance tests are dynamic measures used to assess general lower body function. These tests are helpful because they combine multiple components, such as muscular strength, neuromuscular coordination, and joint stability, which could be affected after joint injury.

Time frame
4 weeks
