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 tests whether certain brain-based exercises (neurocognitive) can improve balance and reduce ankle giving-way in people with long-term ankle instability. If you have had a sprained ankle that still feels unstable, this might help strengthen your ankle control.
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.
This study tests whether adding specific eye-movement exercises to standard balance training helps athletes with long-term ankle instability. It may improve your ankle control and reduce the feeling of your ankle giving way.
This trial tests a type of physical therapy called Mulligan mobilization for recent ankle sprains. It may help you recover faster and restore ankle movement without surgery.
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.
