Summary

To study the effect of adding Core stability exercise to the conventional Program of Chronic ankle instability on balance, Functional instability, and Performance in athletes with CAI

Detailed description

Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) is a prevalent and debilitating condition that afflicts a considerable portion of the population (Al Adal et al.,2020) it is a condition characterized by repetitive episodes or perceptions of the ankle giving way; ongoing symptoms such as pain, weakness, or reduced ankle range of motion (ROM); diminished self-reported function; and recurrent ankle sprains that persist for more than 1 year after the initial injury (Gribble et al.,2013). Purpose of the Study To study the effect of adding Core stability exercise to the conventional Program of Chronic ankle instability on balance, Functional instability, and Performance in athletes with CAI Methods:Triple Blinded RCT (Blinded: Participants, Research Assistant (for assessment of patient pre- and post-intervention) and statistician) Results :An unpaired t-test will be conducted for comparison of age, weight, and height between groups. * Chi-squared test will be conducted for comparison of sex distribution between groups * Mixed MANOVA will be conducted to compare the effect of time (pre versus post) and the effect of treatment (between groups), as well as the interaction between time and treatment on dependent variables. * The level of significance for all statistical tests will be set at p \< 0.05. * All statistical measures will be performed through the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 25 for Windows.

Conditions

• Chronic Ankle Instability and Balance

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	balance exercise	Balance exercises are physical activities designed to improve stability, coordination, and posture by challenging the body's ability to maintain an upright position. These exercises target the muscles and systems involved in balance, particularly the core, legs, and the sensory systems (like vision and proprioception).
OTHER	Core stability exercises	Core stability exercises are physical activities designed to improve the strength, endurance, and coordination of the muscles that support and stabilize the spine, pelvis, and torso. These exercises specifically target the muscles of the abdomen, lower back, hips, and pelvis, collectively referred to as the "core." The goal is to enhance overall posture, prevent injury, and improve performance in daily activities or sports by increasing the body's ability to stabilize itself during movement.
