Ankle training for stability in active adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a new ankle training program for people with chronic ankle instability who are physically active. It aims to improve ankle function and reduce the risk of future injuries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether special core exercises or mental training can help improve your balance and control after repeated ankle sprains. If you have chronic ankle instability, this could help you find which type of training works best.
This study tests a treatment that uses a special band (flossing band) around the ankle combined with exercises to improve balance and function in people with chronic ankle instability. It aims to see if this approach helps reduce the feeling of giving way and improves mobility.
This study tests whether using sound cues while walking can improve balance and ankle stability in people with chronic ankle instability. You may be eligible if you have had repeated ankle sprains and a feeling of your ankle "giving way" in the last 6 months.
This study tests if adding a special computer-based brain training activity to regular ankle function tests can help teenage and young adult athletes who have ongoing ankle problems. If you are a licensed football, basketball, or volleyball player aged 16–25 with chronic ankle instability for at least a year, you may be eligible.
This study compares three different exercise programs to strengthen your ankle and improve stability. If you have a history of ankle sprains with ongoing instability problems, this trial tests which type of strengthening works best to prevent future injuries and improve your ability to do sports.
This trial studies how your brain and spinal cord control your ankle if you have chronic ankle instability (a long-term wobbly ankle). It is for athletes between 18 and 25 who play team sports and have had repeated ankle sprains.
