Summary

Thirty-four participants with grade I and II recurrent ankle sprain, were referred from orthopaedic physician. Their ages ranged from 20 to 30 years old. All participants will be divided randomly into two groups A, B. Seventeen participants per group. Participant selected from both sexes, with body mass index between 18 and 24.9 Kg/m², with self-reported history of at least one significant lateral ankle sprain (LAS) greater than 12 months prior to testing and recurring ankle sprains, ankle "giving way" and/or "feelings of instability". Participants with previous surgery or fracture and with any adverse effects to blood occlusion will be excluded.

Conditions

  • Lateral Ankle Sprain

Interventions

OTHER

conventional physical therapy

consist of Strengthening exercise: will begin with isometric exercises performed against an immovable object in four directions of ankle movement (dorsiflexion, planter flexion, inversion, and eversion) and will be progressed to dynamic resistive exercises (isotonic exercises) using ankle weights. and Bracing: The participants will receive instructions from the therapist about using and applying the soft brace. The soft brace will be based on the principles of the functional tape bandage

OTHER

Low load blood flow restriction

Patients in blood flow restriction training groups will receive low load resistance exercise (20-40 % 1RM) using tourniquet around thigh proximally to knee joint to occlude arterial blood flow by 50-80 %.

OTHER

proprioception training

Patients will receive proprioception exercises in duration of 30 minutes per session, frequencies will be 3 times per week, and lengths for 4 weeks (Matthew et al., 2017). Progression of the proprioceptive training should be static to dynamic (such as lateral movements, backward movements, jumping, cutting, twisting, pivoting), slow speeds to faster speeds with balance and control, two legs to one leg, and with visual control to no visual control.
