Chiropractic Ankle Treatment and Jump Performance Study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.

This study tests how different heights of jumping exercises affect soccer players. If you are a healthy, active soccer player looking to improve your performance, this trial may be a good fit.
This study tests whether a gentle ankle joint movement technique (called mobilization) can quickly improve how high you can jump. It is done in healthy young adults, so it may help you understand how your ankles contribute to jumping.
This study tests a quick, hands-on ankle technique (called high-velocity, low-amplitude distraction) to see if it immediately improves ankle movement in soccer players. It may help reduce stiffness and improve performance.
This study tests a special ankle brace designed for military-style training. It looks at how the brace affects movement and comfort during exercises like jumping and landing. If you're a healthy, active adult, you might be able to join.
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 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.
