Brief Summary

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

Chronic ankle instability was first defined by Freeman as recurrent ankle sprains following an ankle sprain and the feeling of dislocation in the ankle lasting longer than six months. The recurrence of ankle sprains in athletes leads to the realization of ankle instability. Functional ankle instability gives the feeling that a re-sprain will occur at any time due to decreased static and dynamic support in the joint.Neuro-vestibular-ocular exercises is an approach that combines neuromuscular training and vestibular-ocular training techniques.At the same time, we are doing this study because of the mixed studies on the effect of fascial relaxation on the performance and proprioception of a specific group of football players.

Detailed Description

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

A total of 60 football players with instability \<27 according to the CAIT scale, whose proprioception and performance (jump, sprint, zig-zag test, kick speed) values were taken at the beginning, will be divided into two groups.Myofascial release will be applied to the lower extremity posterior line chain described by Myers by the physiotherapist to the first group.The other group (30 people) will be given neuro-vestibular-ocular exercises.Both groups will continue their training programme as ready.The training will be done in 2 sessions and 30 minutes per week.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* a history of 'giving way' and/or recurrent sprains and/or 'feeling of instability' in the injured ankle joint within the last 6 months.
* decreased function due to ankle sprain history
* "feeling of instability" will be defined as ≤27 points on the Cumberland ankle instability scale (CAIT) and the most affected side will be determined as the relevant limb for testing. CAIT score between right and left foot The dominant ankle will be selected.
* Having had at least two previous lateral sprains in the same ankle.

Exclusion Criteria

* history of musculoskeletal surgery and/or fractures in the lower extremities;
* acute injury to the musculoskeletal structures of other lower extremity joints in the last three months that affects joint integrity and function and causes interruption of desired physical activity for at least one day;
* having a history of balance and vestibular disorders.
