简要总结
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the immediate and short-term effects of the Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) method on individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI). In this context, the effects of the Graded Motor Imagery intervention on pain level, muscle stiffness, muscle strength, functional performance, and subjective instability level will be investigated. Additionally, these effects will be comparatively analyzed with an age- and sex-matched control group consisting of healthy individuals.

结局指标
主要结局
Subjective Instability (CAIT)
时间窗: baseline
A valid-reliable questionnaire that questions the perceived instability in daily life and sports activities. Clinical Significance: ≥ 3 point increase is considered clinically significant
Subjective Instability (CAIT)
时间窗: 1-week post-intervention
A valid-reliable questionnaire that questions the perceived instability in daily life and sports activities. Clinical Significance: ≥ 3 point increase is considered clinically significant
Ground Reaction Force & Static Balance (ForceDecks)
时间窗: baseline
Device: ForceDecks dual force platform. 1. Single-Leg Jump Test\* Values: Net vertical ground reaction force (N·kg-¹), flight time (ms), asymmetry (%). 2. Single-Leg Static Balance\* Values: Total sway path (mm), ellipse area (mm²). Clinical Importance:\* Captures short-term changes in neuromuscular control and explosive strength in a detailed manner.
