Muscle Activation in Chronic Ankle Instability and the Effect of an Exercise Programme

NCT02276339 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 24

Last updated 2015-12-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to investigate the activity patterns of the peroneal muscle group, in individuals with a history of chronic ankle instability (CAI) of the ankle injuries compared with individuals without ankle problems. The study also aims to determine the effect of a targeted exercise programme on this muscle group in patients with CAI.

Research on this topic may provide important insight on the roles of these muscles in chronic ankle instability and investigate whether specific strengthening programmes are effective in this complex patient category.
