Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess torso musculature in terms of static and dynamic core muscle endurance tests and hamstring flexibility in non-athletic patients with unilateral chronic ankle instability.

Conditions

Chronic Ankle Instability, CAI

Keywords

hamstring flexibility; 90-90 active knee extension; torso musculature

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• 90-90Active knee extension test

  The angle of knee extension was measured in degrees by a standard goniometer while the patient in supine position and the hip was in 90 degrees of hip flexion

  1 session

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Static Core muscles endurance tests

  1 session

Other Outcomes (1)

• Dynamic Core muscles endurance test

  1 session

Interventions

Group A (Experimental): 29 affected ankles of both genders diagnosed with Chronic ankle instability (CAI) who met the inclusion criteria. Group B (Control): 29 matched non-affected with CAI DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

1-90-90Active knee extension test 2.Core muscles endurance tests(a. The static endurance tests b. The dynamic endurance tests) Time Frame: 1 session

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 20 Years - 35 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

29 healthy people and 29 non-healthy people with chronic ankle instability

You may qualify if:

• Their ages range from 20- 35 years old including both genders (male \& female).
• Their BMI was 18.5- 30 kg/m2.
• A history of the previously injured ankle joint "giving way," and/or recurrent sprain, and/or "feelings of instability."
• Report episodes of giving way and sense of instability of the affected ankle
• Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) patient scores \< 24.

You may not qualify if:

• Subjects were excluded if they have any of the following criteria:( Gribble et al., 2014).
• A history of previous surgeries on the musculoskeletal structures (i.e., bones, joint structures, nerves) in either lower extremity.
• A history of a fracture in either lower extremity requiring realignment.
• Acute injury to musculoskeletal structures of other joints of the lower extremity in the previous 3 months that impacted joint integrity and function (i.e., sprains, fractures), resulting in at least 1 interrupted day of desired physical activity.
• Any patient received physical therapy treatment or medical treatment (NSAID)in the last 2weeks Before enrollment in the study.
• Any patients suffered from low back pain, lumbar disorder and Sacro iliac joint pain.
