Brief summary (from the registry)
The ankle joint sustains injuries particularly in athletics/sports activities at a high rate, resulting in loss of static \& dynamic balance, neuromuscular control, and diminished lower extremity's function. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two balance-training protocols on balance, proprioception, range of motion (ROM), and pain in male athletes with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Both the balance training protocols were proven to be equally effective in improving the static \& dynamic balance, proprioception, ROM, and pain in athletes with CAI.
