Summary

Chronic ankle instability was first defined by Freeman as recurrent ankle sprains following an ankle sprain and the feeling of dislocation in the ankle lasting longer than six months. The recurrence of ankle sprains in athletes leads to the realization of ankle instability. Functional ankle instability gives the feeling that a re-sprain will occur at any time due to decreased static and dynamic support in the joint.Neuro-vestibular-ocular exercises is an approach that combines neuromuscular training and vestibular-ocular training techniques.At the same time, we are doing this study because of the mixed studies on the effect of fascial relaxation on the performance and proprioception of a specific group of football players.

Detailed description

A total of 60 football players with instability \<27 according to the CAIT scale, whose proprioception and performance (jump, sprint, zig-zag test, kick speed) values were taken at the beginning, will be divided into two groups.Myofascial release will be applied to the lower extremity posterior line chain described by Myers by the physiotherapist to the first group.The other group (30 people) will be given neuro-vestibular-ocular exercises.Both groups will continue their training programme as ready.The training will be done in 2 sessions and 30 minutes per week.

Conditions

• Ankle Inversion Sprain
• Ankle Injuries
