简要总结
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of a 4-week, unilateral balance exercise training program on bilateral balance and explosive power in athletes with chronic ankle instability. The participants were randomly divided into Stable Ankle Training Group (SG) (n=9), Unstable Ankle Training Group (UG) (n=9) and control group (CG) (n=10). The balance exercise training program was administered for only the stable ankle of athletes in SG and only the unstable ankle of athletes in UG, twice a week and for a 4-week duration.
详细描述
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of a 4-week, unilateral balance exercise training program on bilateral balance and explosive power in athletes with chronic ankle instability (CAI). The study included 28 volunteer athletes with a history of CAI who registered as a team player at Yeditepe University Culture and Sports Directorate February 2019 - June 2019. The severity of functional ankle instability of all the athletes was assessed by the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT). Functional limitations of the athletes with CAI were evaluated by Foot and Ankle Ability Measure Activity of Daily Living Subscale (FAAM-ADL) and Sports Subscale (FAAM-S). Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) was used to determine the static balance performance of athletes. Dynamic balance was evaluated by the Y Balance Test (YBT). Sport performance including vertical jumping and hopping was assessed with Single-Legged Countermovement Jump (CMJ) Test, Figure-of-Eight Hop Test, and Side Hop Test. The athletes were randomly divided into Rehabilitation for the Stable Ankle Group (SG) (n=9), Rehabilitation for the Unstable Ankle Group (UG) (n=9) and Control Group (CG) (n=10). Athletes in SG and UG were included balance exercise training program. The balance exercise training program was administered for only the stable ankle of athletes in SG and only the unstable ankle of athletes in UG, twice a week and for a 4-week duration.

入选标准
- •Participating in the study on a voluntary basis
- •Athletes with 18-25 years old
- •Being a player in one of the basketball, volleyball, and handball team sports
- •Athletes with a history of at least 2 significant lateral ankle sprains which were classified as a second degree and related to inflammatory symptoms (pain, swelling)

- •Recurrent lateral ankle sprain episodes of the injured ankle occurred at least 12 months
- •The self-reported function of the injured ankle confirmed by Foot and Ankle Ability Measure with a score <90% from activities of daily living subscale and <80% from sport subscale.
排除标准
- •A history of surgery to the musculoskeletal structures in either lower extremity

结局指标
主要结局
Y Balance Test
时间窗: 4 weeks
The Y Balance Test is the functional test that is able to find out impairments in dynamic postural control among individuals with CAI
Side Hop Test
时间窗: 4 weeks
Side Hop test is a test used to evaluate the explosive power of the lower extremity of athletes.
Foot and Ankle Ability Measure
时间窗: 4 weeks
The FAAM is a self-reported tool improved to evaluate the physical functions of individuals with musculoskeletal disorders related to foot and ankle.
Balance Error Scoring System
时间窗: 4 weeks
The BESS is a valid test to find out deficits in static postural control of individuals with CAI.
Single-Leg Countermovement Jump Test
时间窗: 4 weeks
The Single-LegCountermovement jump test is used to evaluate the lower-extremity power of athletes, and indirectly the functional performance.
Figure-of-Eight Hop Test
时间窗: 4 weeks
Figure-of-8 Hop Test is used to measure the explosive power of the lower extremity of athletes.
