What this Trial Is About
Chronic ankle instability affects athletes who have experienced a significant ankle sprain over 12 months ago and continue to suffer from repeated sprains, ankle giving way, pain, swelling, limited motion, weakness, and reduced function. This research compares resistance training alone with resistance training combined with plyometric exercises to see how each affects these symptoms and athletic performance. The study involves athletes with chronic ankle instability and aims to evaluate differences in pain, range of motion, balance, and strength between the two training approaches. Participants are randomly divided into two groups. Group A receives resistance training consisting of manual resistance exercises targeting ankle movements such as dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, eversion, and inversion. Group B receives the same resistance training plus plyometric exercises including tubing exercises, ankle jumps, and ankle circles. Both groups train three times a week for eight weeks, completing a total of 24 sessions. Throughout the study, participants complete patient questionnaires measuring ankle instability severity, physical function, pain, and overall health. Range of motion is measured using a goniometer, and balance is assessed with the Star Excursion Balance Test. Strength is tested by a one-repetition maximum leg press. Assessments occur before starting the exercises and after eight weeks of training, with all data analyzed to understand the impact of each treatment approach.

Screening
Duration - 2 to 4 weeks
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.
1 visit (in-person)
Treatment
Duration - 8 weeks
Participants complete resistance training with or without plyometric exercises aimed at improving ankle strength, balance, and pain. This involves manual resistive exercises and, for some, additional plyometric ankle exercises.
3 sessions per week, totaling 24 sessions
Follow-up Evaluation
Duration - At the end of 8 weeks
Participants are re-evaluated after the intervention period to assess pain, range of motion, balance, and strength improvements.
