Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Balance training with stroboscopic vision in patients with chronic ankle instability.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study was a single-blinded randomized controlled trial with two intervention groups consisted in multimodal balance training, multimodal balance training in addition to stroboscopic glasses and control group who received no intervention.

Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors
An independent assessor blinded to the data collection was responsible for the allocation process. A list of the computer-generated number was employed to assign participants to balance training group, balance training with stroboscopic glasses group or control group.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Neuromuscular training

Neuromuscular training consisting of:

* Single limb balance task.
* Balance training on an unstable surface.
* Hop drills.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Neuromuscular training

Intervention Type OTHER

This intervention consisted of a supervised multimodal exercise protocol addressing different aspects of balance including static and dynamic tasks on the injured ankle. The training program comprised 6 exercises that were progressively adapted depending on the patient's execution controlled by an expert physiotherapist

Stroboscopic glasses group

This group performed the same neuromuscular training with the addition of stroboscopic glasses during the training performance.

* Single limb balance task.
* Balance training on unstable surfaces.
* Hop drills.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Stroboscopic glasses

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients included in this group performed the same protocol described in the balance training group with the addition of the stroboscopic glasses during the intervention.

Control group

This group received no intervention

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
