Strength and balance training for ankle instability in table tennis players
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a program of strength, core, and balance exercises can help table tennis players with ankle instability feel more confident and steady on their feet. If you've had a sprained ankle that still feels weak, this training might improve your stability and performance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
