Brief Summary

Ankle sprains are common injuries in active young people. Most of these injuries recovery quickly on their own, do not require imaging, and do better with early motion and rehabilitation. High ankle sprains and fractures are much less common but more serious. They may require imaging and more treatment.

Study Arms (3)

the control group

EXPERIMENTAL

the control group Group 1 the control group received selected physical therapy program which contain strengthening exercises for upper limb and lower limb muscles, stretching exercises for elbow extensors, hand supinator, wrist extensors, knee extensors and ankle dorsiflexors, balancing exercises, coordination exercises and balance training exercises and gait training in open environment.

Other: balance exercising

the virtual reality group

EXPERIMENTAL

Group 2 the study group received the same physical therapy program 30 min. plus virtual reality for 30 min

Other: balance exercising

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: SINGLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT
• Masking Details: Single (Outcomes Assessor) Blinding process to participants and care providers was impossible due to the nature of intervention therapy. Data were analyzed by an impartial statistician (outcomes assessor), referring to each arm with an encoded name: Group 1 (control group) and Group 2 (virtual reality group), group 3 (Biodex Balance Training)
• Purpose: TREATMENT
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER

• PI Title: Lecturer of physical therapy

Model Details: G 1 (control) received traditional physical therapy program for 60 min. G 2(study) received traditional physical therapy program for 30 min. and virtual reality for 30 min. G 3 (study) received traditional physical therapy program for 30 min. and Biodex Balance Training all groups treated for four successive months.
