About this trial
This study aims to investigate the effects of various treatments on lumbar and ankle proprioception, balance, and foot function in patients with chronic ankle instability. The objectives include assessing the combined effects of core stability training and intrinsic foot muscle exercises with conventional therapy, the impact of core stability training alone, the effects of intrinsic foot muscle exercises in conjunction with conventional treatment, and the outcomes of conventional therapy alone. Additionally, the study will compare the effectiveness of these different treatment protocols.
