Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT): Psychometric questionnaire which measures regional functional impairments of the participants. The measurements are before and after the six-week intervention phase as well as in a 6-, 12- and 24-month follow-up.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
- Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) <br>- Isometric/Isokinetic strength diagnostics <br>- gait/run analysis<br>- jump analysis<br>The FAAM is collected before and after the six-week intervention phase as well as in a 6-, 12- and 24-month follow-up. Isometric/Isokinetic strength diagnostics, gait/run analysis and jump analysis are conducted before and after the six-week intervention phase as well as in a 6-month follow-up.
