Effect of Combining Plyometric and Balance Training vs. Training program Along with Regular Physiotherapy on different parameters in Badminton Players with Ankle Instability: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Not yet recruiting

Conditions: Acquired deformity of musculoskeletal system, unspecified,

Registration Number: CTRI/2025/04/084395

Lead Sponsor: Ravi Nair Physiotherapy College

Brief Summary: 1. Prevalence and Impact: Acute lateral ankle sprains are a commonly incurred injury by individuals who partake in field, court, sports. 10-61% of badminton injuries were ankle sprains. In the longer term, lateral ankle sprains lead to chronic ankle instability. The persistent recurrence highlights the need for more effective interventions, especially in populations of high-demand athletes.

2.Available solution plyometric training was an effective program for enhancing static and dynamic balance and increasing ankle joint stability among individuals with Functional ankle instability FAI. Restoring dynamic balance is also crucial for returning to regular activities after an ankle instability. Balance training could improve the dynamics of balance as demonstrated by the improved reach distances in the anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions after 6 weeks of training. Dynamic support through eccentric muscle actions provided from both the peroneal and tibialis anterior muscles is one of the key components in the prevention of a lateral ankle sprain when the ankle is forced into plantar flexion/inversion. Therefore, eccentric strengthening exercises of the ankle evertors and even the dorsiflexors seem to be important to be able to resist an inversion sprain.

3 Limitations: The researchers identified as knowledge gap In study about, combination between plyometric and balance training programs and other types of training such as power, strength, or endurance exercise were not included so it is a need to be explored. Another limitation in study was Strength-training and multicomponent rehabilitation studies should continue to use clinically applicable dependent variables to improve rehabilitation protocols and better serve the patient and clinician. The study aims to address a critical need in understanding the impact of plyometric training and balance training versus eccentric exercise training in adjunct to conventional physiotherapy for ankle instability in badminton athletes. The research is crucial for enhancing rehabilitation strategies, training protocols and ultimately improving performance and injury prevention strategies for badminton players who faces challenges related to ankle instability.
