简要总结
To examine the effects of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stability exercises with and without Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation on balance, proprioception, and functional performance in badminton players with lateral ankle sprain.
详细描述
A randomized controlled trial compared Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), balance training, and conventional rehabilitation in amateur athletes with chronic ankle sprain. The findings demonstrated that both DNS and balance training significantly improved ankle stability, balance, reaction time, and functional performance, highlighting their effectiveness in rehabilitation.
A quasi-experimental study investigated the effects of ankle proprioceptive training in recreational badminton players with pronated feet. The intervention resulted in significant improvements in agility, dynamic balance, and ankle function compared with conventional training.
Another study evaluated neuromuscular training with and without kinesio taping in football players following ankle sprain. Both interventions effectively reduced pain and improved range of motion, balance, and functional performance, while the addition of kinesio taping produced greater clinical benefits.
A randomized study assessed the effectiveness of a six-week neuromuscular training program in individuals with lateral ankle sprain. The intervention significantly enhanced muscle strength, proprioception, balance, range of motion, and overall functional recovery compared with routine training.
A pilot randomized trial examined rhythmic auditory stimulation-based gait training in older adults undergoing rehabilitation. The intervention significantly improved gait speed and demonstrated its feasibility as an effective rehabilitation strategy.

研究组 & 干预措施
Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization Alone
The intervention was progressively advanced over six weeks. Baseline treatment included warm-up exercises, stretching, and basic balance training. During Week 2, participants performed DNS breathing and core stabilization exercises, proprioceptive training, and Theraband ankle strengthening. In Week 4, advanced DNS postures, dynamic balance, and functional movement exercises were introduced. By Week 6, participants progressed to advanced DNS exercises, unilateral balance and hopping drills, agility training, and badminton-specific movements to enhance neuromuscular control, balance, and functional performance.

Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization with Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation
The intervention was progressively advanced over six weeks. Baseline treatment included warm-up exercises, stretching, and basic balance training with rhythmic auditory cues. During Week 2, participants performed DNS breathing and core stabilization exercises, proprioceptive training, and Theraband ankle strengthening. In Week 4, advanced DNS postures, dynamic balance, and functional movement exercises were introduced with increased rhythmic cueing. By Week 6, participants progressed to advanced DNS exercises, unilateral balance and hopping drills, agility training, and badminton-specific movements synchronized with rhythmic auditory stimulation to enhance neuromuscular control and functional performance.

结局指标
主要结局
Joint Position Sense Test
时间窗: 6 weeks
It evaluates proprioception by measuring a subject's ability to actively or passively reproduce a joint angle without visual input. It has shown moderate to high reliability (ICC = 0.70-0.93) and is a valid measure of sensorimotor deficits following lateral ankle injuries. Pre and post assessment will be done.
Star Excursion Balance Test
时间窗: 6 weeks
It is a dynamic balance test that assesses neuromuscular control and postural stability during multi-directional reaching tasks while standing on one leg. It demonstrates high reliability (ICC = 0.85-0.96) and good validity in identifying lower limb deficits, especially following ankle sprains and in athletic populations. Pre and post assessment will be done.
Sports Ankle Rating Scale
时间窗: 6 weeks
The Sports Ankle Rating Scale is a subjective questionnaire designed to assess functional limitations, pain, and instability related to ankle injuries in athletic populations. It demonstrates good reliability (Cronbach's alpha \> 0.80) and acceptable validity when compared with clinical outcomes. The scale includes sections on pain, function during sports, and instability episodes to provide a comprehensive ankle health profile. Pre and post assessment will be done.
