Brief Summary

Combined Effects of Talocrural MWM and Therapeutic US on Pain, Balance and Disability in Athletes With Ankle Sprain. Study consist of two groups. One group receives conventional physiotherapy treatment conventional physiotherapy treatment including icing and ankle isometrics. Other receives Talocrural mobilization with therapeutic ultrasound therapy on ankle joint.

Conditions

Ankle Sprains

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Athlete disability index

  The Athlete Disability Index (ADI) is a self-administered questionnaire specifically designed to assess the level of disability experienced by athletes due to low back pain (LBP)

  6 weeks

• Berg balance scale

  The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is a popular clinical tool for assessing balance and fall risk in older persons. Katherine Berg created it to assess balance during various activities.

  6 weeks

• Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)

  The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a widely used tool for assessing subjective experiences, particularly pain intensity.

  6 weeks
