This study tests whether wrapping a special floss band around the ankle, combined with exercise, helps people with chronic ankle instability feel more stable and function better. It may be an option for young adults who have had ankle sprains or giving-way episodes for at least six months.
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 looks at how ankle instability affects movement control in athletes. If you have chronic ankle problems, you might help researchers understand how to improve treatment and prevention.
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 study compares two types of balance exercises (standing on one leg vs. standing on both legs) to see which works better for people with long-term ankle instability. If you have chronic ankle weakness after a sprain at least 6 months ago, this trial may help improve your balance and confidence.
