Brief Summary

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

Ankle sprains are common injuries in active young people. Most of these injuries recovery quickly on their own, do not require imaging, and do better with early motion and rehabilitation. High ankle sprains and fractures are much less common but more serious. They may require imaging and more treatment.

Detailed Description

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

Phases of rehabilitation for ankle sprain Phase I treatment involves resting and protecting the ankle to permit healing, to prevent further injury, and to control pain and swelling.

Phase II treatment begins once pain and swelling have subsided to the point where the athlete can comfortably bear weight and walk from place to place.

Virtual reality (VR) is a simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world. Applications of virtual reality can include entertainment (i.e. video games) and educational purposes (i.e. medical or military training). Other, distinct types of VR style technology include augmented reality and mixed reality.

Biodex Balance Training is one of the main tool that used to assess dynamic balance and dynamic limits of stability also it can used as training tool to improve the participant balance training

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

G 1 (control) received traditional physical therapy program for 60 min. G 2(study) received traditional physical therapy program for 30 min. and virtual reality for 30 min. G 3 (study) received traditional physical therapy program for 30 min. and Biodex Balance Training all groups treated for four successive months.

Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants

Single (Outcomes Assessor) Blinding process to participants and care providers was impossible due to the nature of intervention therapy. Data were analyzed by an impartial statistician (outcomes assessor), referring to each arm with an encoded name: Group 1 (control group) and Group 2 (virtual reality group), group 3 (Biodex Balance Training)

Study Groups

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

the control group

the control group Group 1 the control group received selected physical therapy program which contain strengthening exercises for upper limb and lower limb muscles, stretching exercises for elbow extensors, hand supinator, wrist extensors, knee extensors and ankle dorsiflexors, balancing exercises, coordination exercises and balance training exercises and gait training in open environment.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

balance exercising

Intervention Type OTHER

selected physical therapy program strengthening the muscles of upper and lower limbs, balancing exercise, gait training in open environment,stretching for elbow flexors and forearms pronators,lower limb hip flexors and knee extensor and ankle dorsiflexors

the virtual reality group

Group 2 the study group received the same physical therapy program 30 min. plus virtual reality for 30 min
