Summary

To determine the effects of motor imagery techniques on pain, proprioception, instability and strength in acute lateral ankle sprains in soccer players

Conditions

  • Ankle Sprains

Interventions

OTHER

Motor Imagery Techniques

* Play a video of person doing a toe-raise exercise where carrying a big barbell on his shoulders. * The individual in the video proceeded from a neutral upright position to a tiptoe standing while loud a heavy barbell; the plantar-flexors are used in this workout. * The members were said to imagine engaging their ankle flexor muscles in an effort to generate ankle flexion. Both limbs were used during the 10-second imaginary contraction, which was tailed by a 10-second rest. Subsequently five repetitions of the contraction, there was a 30 second pause. Two-minutes of rest were interspersed between five-sets of five-contractions. Fifty imaginary contractions in total.

OTHER

Conventional Exercise Therapy

1. ROM drills for pronation, flexion and extension. 2. Ankle strengthening trainings include stand-up on tiptoe, walking on toe-tip, hopping on single foot, and resistance exercise with a latex elastic band. 3. Proprioceptive exercise include the following exercises: (a) sit on a proprioception board and move the injured limb in a round motion; (b) stand-up with both legs on the board while performing both eyes open and closed; (c) standing with single leg on the board while performing both eyes open; and (d) exercises on a mini-tramp (stand-up on double legs, single leg stances, hops on both left and right legs and on single leg). 4. Strengthening of the muscles of ankle completed with flexible bands at moderate Intensities. 5. Training on a stationary bicycle. 6. lunges forward into a wall. 7. Steps up and down on the transverse or sagittal plane.
