Summary

The goal of this Randomized clinical trial is to find the effects of open versus closed kinetic chain exercises on ankle joint function in athletes with chronic ankle instability. The main question it aims to answer is:

• To compare the effects of open versus closed kinetic chain exercises on pain, instability and balance in athletes with chronic ankle instability.

Participants were given consent form and after subjects read and signed the informed consent and completed the self-reported questionnaires designed to identify subjects with CHRONIC ANKLE INSTABILITY, subjects completed baseline measurements that included Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM)-Sport Subscale, Reach distance, and SEBT. Participant were divided into two groups (Group A and Group B) through lottery method. Group A received open kinetic exercises 3times a week for 3-4 weeks. Group B received close kinetic exercises 3 times a week for 3-4 weeks.

Conditions

  • Ankle Injuries

Interventions

OTHER

Open chain exercises

An open chain exercise is one that allows the furthest part of the chain to move freely. For example, picking up a glass of water is an open-chain exercise. The hand affects the elbow and the shoulder as it is not fixed in place. However, it does not effect the rest of your body.

OTHER

Closed kinetic chain exercises

Closed Kinetic Chain (CKC) exercises or closed chain exercises are exercises or movements where the distal aspect of the extremity is fixed to an object that is stationary.
