Summary

After an initial ankle sprain, Chronic Ankle Instability is one of the most common residual symptoms which include pain, swelling, recurrent sprain, episodes of ankle joint "giving away" or decreased function. Recently, Whole Body Vibration (WBV) training has been introduced as a preventive and rehabilitative tool. It can be hypothesized that WBV on unstable surfaces might enhance neuromuscular control. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 6-week WBV training on an unstable surface on body composition, balance, strength and reflex and muscle activity of ankle muscles in recreational athletes with CAI.

Conditions

  • Chronic Ankle Instability

Interventions

OTHER

Proprioceptive training on a whole body vibration platform

The Training programme consisted of three series of 4 exercises of 45 seconds with 45 seconds rest between exercises. In this intervention participants trained with the BOSU® on a Fitvibe Excel Pro vibration platform (Fitvibe, Bilzen, Belgium).
