Pelvic alignment in male football players with ankle instability
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how ankle instability might affect the alignment of your pelvis in male football players. Participants will have their pelvic alignment measured, and the results may help guide future treatments for ankle problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a male football player aged 18 to 35.
- You have had a single ankle sprain at least 12 months ago, and your ankle has 'given way' at least twice in the last 6-12 months.
- Your last ankle injury was more than 3 months ago.
- You feel your injured ankle is weaker or less functional than the other side.
- No previous surgery, fractures, or significant injuries to your spine, pelvis, or legs, and no recent ankle rehab within the last month.
- No leg length difference greater than 0.5 cm (about the thickness of a pencil eraser).

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.
This study looks at how doing a thinking task while moving affects balance and performance in volleyball players with and without chronic ankle instability. It may help understand how attention impacts ankle stability during sport.
This study tests whether Pilates training can help footballers with chronic ankle instability improve ankle awareness, balance, and performance. If you have sprained one ankle in the past year and still feel instability, this might be a way to strengthen your ankle without surgery.
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 looks at whether simple X-ray or physical measurements can predict balance problems in people with chronic ankle instability. If you often feel your ankle gives way, joining could help researchers find better ways to identify who needs extra balance training.
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.
