About this trial

Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) and patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) are common musculoskeletal conditions associated with postural instability. However, the direction-specific nature of balance deficits and comparative patterns across these conditions remain unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare overall, mediolateral, and anteroposterior postural stability indices among individuals with LAS, PFPS, and healthy controls using the Biodex Balance System

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

None

Disqualifiers

None

Trial population

a total of 90 participants (30 per group) will be required to participate in the study taking into consideration 10% drop out. Participants of both sexes with ages of 20 to 30 years will be recruited and assigned into three groups: individuals with lateral ankle sprain (LAS), individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), and healthy control participants. All participants will have normal cognitive function and the ability to understand and follow instructions required for balance assessment.
