简要总结
Chronic ankle instability is a complex condition. Limited mobility, perceived instability, and recurrent ankle sprains are common characteristics that reduce the quality of life in subjects who suffer chronic ankle instability. Neuromuscular training and strength training has been recommended in chronic ankle instability management interventions. However, there are contradictory findings on results when comparing neuromuscular training, strength training, and control group.
详细描述
Participants were randomly assigned to the neuromuscular training group, strength training group, and control group with no intervention if participants met the inclusion criteria.
Neuromuscular training group. It consisted of a multi-station training with 6 exercises, increasing the difficulty progressively as the participants controlled the execution. The exercises were all performed barefoot and with the injured foot. These were a combination of standing and jumping exercises involving the injured ankle.
A strength training group was performed with resistance bands. The band was fastened to the unaffected ankle, while the participant was told to perform front and back pulls, as well as adduction and abduction movements with the affected ankle. Participants were told to control the ankle movement and to make it slow.
Control group received no intervention.

结局指标
主要结局
Self-reported instability
时间窗: From baseline to eight weeks
To determine the presence and severity of chronic ankle instability, participants completed the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool, a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the severity of ankle instability. The Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool is a 9-item subjective questionnaire with a range score from 0 (severe instability) to 30 (normal stability)
