Summary

The goal of this interventional trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the simplified four-week Tai Chi training in improving function in people with chronic ankle instability. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does the 4-week Tai Chi training improve ankle neuromuscular responses?
2. Does the 4-week Tai Chi training enhance ankle proprioception?
3. Does the 4-week Tai Chi training improve ankle muscle strength？
4. Does the 4-week Tai Chi training boost balance performance？
5. Does the 4-week Tai Chi training enhance subjective ankle stability and quality of life?

Researchers will compare Tai Chi training to self-management to see if this Tai Chi training works to enhance ankle stability performance.

Participants will:

1. Take self-management and Tai Chi training, and each for 4 weeks
2. Visit the labs every 4 weeks for biomechanical measurements and questionnaires, totally 3 times.
