Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to compare the effects of neromuscular exercise combined with vestibulo-ocular reflex training on balance,isokinetic muscle strength and proprioception in subjects with ankle instability.The aim of the study is to compare the effects of neromuscular exercise combined with vestibulo-ocular reflex training on balance and isokinetic muscle strength in subjects with ankle instability. Hypotheses of the study; H0: Vestibulo-ocular reflex training protocol, which is given in addition to the neuromuscular exercise program, has an effect on isokinetic ankle muscle strength and balance in individuals with ankle instability. H1: Vestibulo-ocular reflex training protocol, which is given in addition to the neuromuscular exercise program, has no effect on isokinetic ankle muscle strength and balance in individuals with ankle instability.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• balance,isokinetic muscle strength,proprioception

  Dynamic balance evaluation with star excursion balance test recorded in centimeters.

  1 hours

• isokinetic muscle strength

  ankle evertor- inverter concentric muscle strength by using isokinetic dynamometer at angular velocities of 60 degree/s, 120 degree /s and 180 degree/s were recorded.

  1 hours

• proprioception

  Proprioception was evaluated by measuring joint position sense with a goniometer, and deviations in proprioception were recorded as degrees.

  1 hours

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• weight

Neuromuscular Training

EXPERIMENTAL

The neuromuscular exercise training group includes single-leg stance, single leg hop and strength exercise.Each training session took approximately 60 minutes and 3 times a week for 4 weeks.The neuromuscular group included supervised, strength, balance and hop stabilization exercises on the different surfaces that focus on the restoring of static and dynamic balance. Both groups completed strength exercises in the same way. Strength exercises include ;4-way ankle theraband exercises,foot intrinsic strengthening (toe curl, doming),heel raises exercise,squat, lunge activities.Balance exercises include single-leg stance single leg hop and unticipated hop to stabilization activities.

Other: exercise

Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Training

EXPERIMENTAL

The vestibulo ocular reflex training group includes head and gaze stability exercises in addition to single le stance,single leg hop and strength exercise.Each training session took approximately 60 minutes and 3 times a week for 4 weeks.In the vestibulo- ocular exercise program, individuals tried to maintain their balance with head and eye movements in addition to balance and hop stabilization activities. Both groups completed strength exercises in the same way. Strength exercises include ;4-way ankle theraband exercises,foot intrinsic strengthening (toe curl, doming),heel raises exercise,squat, lunge activities.Balance exercises include single-leg stance single leg hop and unticipated hop to stabilization activities.
