Brief Summary

The aim of our study is to evaluate the applicability, validity, and reliability of the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) in basketball athletes. Given that a significant proportion of injuries in basketball occur in the ankle, our study holds importance for instability assessments conducted in this population. If the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool is found to be applicable in basketball athletes, it may be utilized in future research.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool

  The CAIT, a 9-item scale, was developed by Hiller et al., in 2006 to assess ankle instability. It encompasses aspects such as ankle pain, instability during activities of daily living, foot adaptation during physical movements, and the perception of spatial awareness in the foot (Hiller et al., 2006). The questionnaire is designed to capture the feeling of instability across various activities, including running, walking, jumping, and descending stairs. Scores on the scale range from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater ankle stability and 0 representing the worst possible score indicating severe instability.

  Baseline and after one week

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM)

  Baseline

• The Identification of Functional Ankle Instability (IdFAI)
