Summary

This trial aims to understand the differences between different groups of people with chronic ankle instability to improve rehabilitation methods. They will look at how these groups perform on specific tests, measure neurophysiological responses, and

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) who are looking to improve their condition. The study aims to understand functional and neurophysiological differences in CAI subgroups, which will help tailor more effective rehabilitation programs.

What is being tested?

The study tests the effects of a specialized 4-week balance training program on people with different types of chronic ankle instability. It measures performance on physical tasks and assesses changes in nerve system function and muscle control.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves physical rehabilitation exercises, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, or an increase in ankle pain during the course of treatment.
