Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of two methods of elevating hip muscle strength on functional ankle instability(FAI). . The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Whether hip strength training and neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the gluteal muscles, respectively, based on conventional ankle training improves dysfunction in patients with FAI? * Is there a difference in the efficacy of the above two interventions for FAI?

Detailed description

Participants will be randomly divided into 3 groups (Experimental Group A, Experimental Group B and Control Group) to receive the intervention for 6 weeks. The Control Group will undergo conventional ankle interventions such as peri-ankle muscle strength training and ankle balance training; Experimental Group A will undergo hip muscle strength training based on the conventional training; and Experimental Group B will perform neuromuscular electrical stimulation of hip abductors and hip extensors based on the conventional training. Researchers will compare the three groups to see changes in hip muscle strength, lower extremity muscle activation, ankle muscle strength, proprioception, dynamic and static balance, and self-reported ankle function.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Conventional ankle training	The program included ankle elastic band resistance training and balance training, in which the elastic band resistance training required subjects to complete resistance training in ankle plantarflexion, dorsiflexion, inversion and eversion directions with the help of elastic bands; and the balance training required subjects to complete the movements of standing with eyes open, standing with eyes closed, and throwing and catching the ball on flat ground and BOSU ball.
PROCEDURE	Hip strength training	Hip strength training required subjects to complete resistance training in hip abduction and posterior extension, anterior step-up and lateral step-up exercises with the help of elastic bands.
PROCEDURE	Neuromuscular electrical stimulation	Neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the gluteus mediums and gluteus maximus muscles of the affected side was carried out using the TB6807 low-frequency therapeutic instrument (with prescription for neuromuscular electrical stimulation) manufactured by China Tangbang Science and Technology Company.
