Balance- and Strength-Training Protocols to Improve Chronic Ankle Instability Deficits, Part I: Assessing Clinical Outcome Measures

Abstract

Both training protocols improved strength, balance, and functional performance. More clinicians should incorporate hop-to-stabilization exercises into their rehabilitation protocols to improve the deficits associated with CAI.

Manipulative Therapy Plus Ankle Therapeutic Exercises for Adolescent Baseball Players with Chronic Ankle Instability: A Single-Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial

“…Unlike the study by Hall et al (2018), which reported the improvement of static balance with therapeutic exercise, the control group in this study did not show an improvement [ 50 ]. Hall et al (2018) applied proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and heel raise intervention as well as TheraBand exercise, similar to this study.…”

Balance- and Strength-Training Protocols to Improve Chronic Ankle Instability Deficits, Part II: Assessing Patient-Reported Outcome Measures

“…We presented the participants' demographics and the flow diagram, inclusion and exclusion criteria, CAI status, and physical activity levels in part I of this study. 16 All participants provided written informed consent, and the research was approved by Indiana University's Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human Subjects.…”

“…This study was part of a larger study, and the procedures for each protocol have been described in detail. 16 Each participant met with a researcher (E.A.H.) 3 times each week for 6 weeks for his or her protocol.…”

Comparison of Recent Studies on Rehabilitation of Chronic Ankle Instability: A Systematic Review

“…All selected studies were conducted in participants who met the IAC recommendations for CAI. 11,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] Allowing duplicate counts of intervention type resulted in 15 articles using dynamic balance training (DBT) 11,14-27 , 4 articles using strength training (ST) 11,[14][15][16] , and 4 articles using mixed type. [28][29][30][31] The mixed interventions included functional activity, range of motion (ROM), strength, balance, and neuromuscular training.…”
