Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Randomized Control Trial will be conducted at the Punjab Stadium over a 10-month period. The sample size, after considering a 10% attrition rate, will consist of 15 participants in each group. Group A, the control group, will receive conventional physiotherapy treatment including icing and ankle isometrics, while Group B will undergo Talocrural mobilization with therapeutic ultrasound therapy and conventional physiotherapy. Participants aged 18 to 40 years diagnosed with ankle sprain and experiencing ankle pain within the last six weeks will be included. Exclusion criteria involve a history of ankle or foot fractures, concurrent lower extremity injuries, neurological disorders affecting lower limb function, and recent ankle or foot surgeries within the last six months. Data collection tools include the Foot and Ankle Disability Index (FADI) for disability, Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) for balance, and Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for pain intensity. The study will involve pre and post assessments over a 6-week duration, analyzing changes within and between groups using statistical tests such as paired sample t-test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, independent sample t-test, and Mann Whitney U test. The Talocrural mobilization protocol for Group B will comprise five sessions per week, each lasting 40 minutes, including 20 minutes of therapeutic ultrasound and 20 minutes of Talocrural mobilization. The data will be analyzed using SSP for Windows software version 25.
