Effect Of Thoracic Mobility Versus Lumbopelvic Stabilization Exercises On Lower Extremity Flexibility, Dynamic Balance And Proprioception In Patients With Chronic Ankle Instability
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Thoracic Mobility Rehabilitation, Lumbopelvic Stability Rehabilitation, and 1 other intervention for Chronic Ankle Instability. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of thoracic mobility versus lumbopelvic stabilization exercises combined with ankle strengthening exercises with resistive band on patients with chronic ankle instability in terms of lower extremity flexibility, proprioception and dynamic balance.The participants were divided into two group as Thoracic Mobility group (n=15) and Lumbopelvic Stability group (n=15). In addition their exercise programs (2 times/wk, 8 wk duration), both groups were given home exercise ankle strengthening exercises.(3 sets/ 10 reps, 3 times/wk.)
