Balance training with eye exercises for unstable ankles
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding eye exercises to standard balance training helps amateur athletes with chronic ankle instability. It aims to improve ankle stability and reduce the feeling of the ankle 'giving way'.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
