简要总结
This study will be conducted to determine the effect of addition of ankle mobility versus hip mobility exercises to traditional rehabilitation to patients with chronic ankle instability. the main purpose is to answer the following question:
- out of these interventions which would better improve lower limb flexibility, range of motion, severity of functional instability and dynamic postural control?
Researcher will compare between ankle mobility versus hip mobility exercises
Participants will be allocated in 2 experimental groups:
- group A will include 20 patients receiving conventional physiotherapy in addition to ankle mobility exercises
- group B will include 20 patients receiving conventional physiotherapy in addition to hip mobility exercises
Patients will receive 3 sessions per week for 6 weeks in a physiotherapy outpatient facility for both groups

结局指标
主要结局
severity of chronic ankle instability
时间窗: 6 weeks
using the Arabic version of the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool, a tool used to describe the severity of chronic ankle instability, with the highest possible score is: 30 and the lowest possible score is: 0 Higher scores indicate better ankle stability, while lower scores indicate higher severity of functional instability
