The Effect of Neuromuscular and Vestibulo-Ocular Training on Balance,Isokinetic Strength and Proprioception in Chronic Ankle Instability
Chronic Ankle Instability
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Chronic Ankle Instability focused on measuring ankle instability, balance, neuromuscular,vestibulo-ocular
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Being 18-30 years old
- At least 2 lateral sprains to the same ankle in the past
- At least 1 episode of "giving way" that had occurred within the past 6 months
- The presence of residual symptoms during functional activities and had to be free from symptoms of any other previous injury to the lower extremity.
- No other injuries to the lower limbs
Exclusion Criteria:
- Having a bilateral ankle instability
- Having a history of ankle fracture
- Having a history of fracture or surgery to the involved lower extremity
- Having a history of balance and vestibular disorders

Neuromuscular Training
Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Training
The neuromuscular exercise training group includes single-leg stance, single leg hop and strength exercise.Each training session took approximately 60 minutes and 3 times a week for 4 weeks.The neuromuscular group included supervised, strength, balance and hop stabilization exercises on the different surfaces that focus on the restoring of static and dynamic balance. Both groups completed strength exercises in the same way. Strength exercises include ;4-way ankle theraband exercises,foot intrinsic strengthening (toe curl, doming),heel raises exercise,squat, lunge activities.Balance exercises include single-leg stance single leg hop and unticipated hop to stabilization activities.
The vestibulo ocular reflex training group includes head and gaze stability exercises in addition to single le stance,single leg hop and strength exercise.Each training session took approximately 60 minutes and 3 times a week for 4 weeks.In the vestibulo- ocular exercise program, individuals tried to maintain their balance with head and eye movements in addition to balance and hop stabilization activities. Both groups completed strength exercises in the same way. Strength exercises include ;4-way ankle theraband exercises,foot intrinsic strengthening (toe curl, doming),heel raises exercise,squat, lunge activities.Balance exercises include single-leg stance single leg hop and unticipated hop to stabilization activities.
