Brief Summary

Balance training with stroboscopic vision in patients with chronic ankle instability.

Conditions

Ankle Inversion Sprain; Proprioceptive Disorders

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Ankle range of motion

  Ankle dorsiflexion range of motion was assessed by the weight-bearing lunge test. The patient is positioned in a standing position facing a wall with the involved foot parallel with a tape measure which has been attached to the floor and the opposite leg placed behind in a tandem stance. A forward lunge is performed until the anterior knee tries to make contact with the wall with the heel firmly planted on the ground.

  From baseline to six weeks.

• Dynamic balance

  Dynamic balance has been measured by a simplified version of the Star Excursion Balance Test where the anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral reach directions were collected for statistical analysis.

  From baseline to six weeks.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Self-reported instability and function

  From baseline to six weeks.

Study Arms (3)

Neuromuscular training

EXPERIMENTAL

Neuromuscular training consisting of: * Single limb balance task. * Balance training on an unstable surface. * Hop drills.

Other: Neuromuscular training

Stroboscopic glasses group

EXPERIMENTAL

This group performed the same neuromuscular training with the addition of stroboscopic glasses during the training performance. * Single limb balance task. * Balance training on unstable surfaces. * Hop drills.

Other: Stroboscopic glasses

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

This group received no intervention

Interventions

Neuromuscular training OTHER

This intervention consisted of a supervised multimodal exercise protocol addressing different aspects of balance including static and dynamic tasks on the injured ankle. The training program comprised 6 exercises that were progressively adapted depending on the patient's execution controlled by an expert physiotherapist

Neuromuscular training

Stroboscopic glasses OTHER

Patients included in this group performed the same protocol described in the balance training group with the addition of the stroboscopic glasses during the intervention.

Stroboscopic glasses group

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: TRIPLE
• Who Masked: CARE PROVIDER, INVESTIGATOR, OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: An independent assessor blinded to the data collection was responsible for the allocation process. A list of the computer-generated number was employed to assign participants to balance training group, balance training with stroboscopic glasses group or control group.
• Purpose: TREATMENT
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
• PI Title: Professor

Model Details: This study was a single-blinded randomized controlled trial with two intervention groups consisted in multimodal balance training, multimodal balance training in addition to stroboscopic glasses and control group.
