研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention Group:

干预措施: balance and proprioception training program. (Other)
Control group
Participants will continue their usual care, including general strength and flexibility exercises.
干预措施: Usual care (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Changes in Pain intensity
时间窗: Changes in Pain intensity at baseline, 8 weeks, and 16 weeks follow up
Pain intensity will be measured using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
Changes in Functional Ability
时间窗: Changes in Functional ability at baseline, 8 weeks, and 16 weeks follow up
Functional ability will be assessed using the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM)
次要结局
- Changes in Proprioception(Changes in proprioception at baseline, 8 weeks, and 16 weeks follow up)
- Changes in Balance(Changes in balance at baseline, 8 weeks, and 16 weeks follow up)
- Incidence of Recurrent Ankle Sprains(From post-intervention at 8 weeks to the end of the follow-up period at 16 weeks)
