Eye exercises plus balance training for ankle instability
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
