5. Study Description

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.
