Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Ankle Sprains
• Interventions: Device: Biodex Balance System; Other: specific physical therapy exercise program

• Registration Number: NCT04773990
• Lead Sponsor: MTI University

Brief Summary

This study will be conducted to find out the effect of adding balance training on gait parameters, balance, and Sensory Interaction

Detailed Description

LAS are not benign injuries. As many as 4 in 10 individuals will develop chronic ankle instability (CAI) after a first-time sprain, More than half of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the ankle report a history of a sport-related ankle injury, and 85% of those are LAS.
