Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the Hyperarch Fascia Training (HFT) program can reduce ankle pain and improve jump performance in active adults aged 20-45 with a history of ankle sprains. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an HFT intervention group or a control group, maintaining regular activity. Over 12 weeks, participants will complete remote training sessions, track jump performance using the "My Jump Lab" app, and complete ankle pain and stability questionnaires. All activities and assessments will be conducted remotely with guidance from certified coaches.

Detailed description

This is a decentralized, randomized controlled trial evaluating the effects of Hyperarch Fascia Training (HFT) on pain and functional outcomes in adults aged 20-45 with a history of chronic ankle sprains. Up to 62 participants will be remotely recruited across the United States, with a target of 50 completing the study. Participants will be randomized to either an HFT intervention group or a passive control group, maintaining usual activity. The HFT group will complete three training sessions per week (one live virtual session and two self-guided sessions) over a 12-week period. Outcomes will assess pain and self-reported functional improvement using validated questionnaires and remote performance measures. All study activities, including recruitment, training, and assessments, will be conducted virtually.
