| Popis: | Strength and proprioception are important to have a stable and functional ankle .Individuals with ankle injuries are bound to develop a loss of either or both of these during and after the phase of immobilization. Objectives: 1. To assess the effects of a 4 weeks strengthening programme on dynamic balance in CAI. 2. To assess the effects of a 4 weeks proprioceptive training on dynamic balance in CAI.3. To compare the effects of a 4 weeks strengthening programme to a proprioceptive training on dynamic balance in CAI. Materials and methods: This was an interventional study done amongst athlete students at Deccan Education Society college campus, Pune during November 2013 to April 2014. Total 27 college students who were known athletes with chronic ankle instability were selected by convenient sampling. These 27 subjects were randomly allotted, 13 to the strengthening group and 14 to the proprioceptive group. Dynamic balance was assessed using the Functional reach test (FRT) prior to the intervention. Maximum three readings were collected and then an average of the best two was taken while the first was considered as the trial. This was considered as the pre intervention reading. These subjects then underwent a 4 week programme depending upon the group they were allotted. Post intervention readings were taken of the FRT scores in the two groups and statistical analysis was done. Results & Conclusion: Paired andUnpaired t tests were done to compare the Functional reach test (FRT) scores pre and post in both the strengthening and proprioceptive groups and also the post training FRT scores between the two groups. The differences in the pre and post FRT scores were found to be extremely significant in both the groups (p value 0.0001). The study proves that both the strength training as well as proprioceptive training are equally effective in improving the dynamic balance in athletes with ankle instability. They should thus both be given to improve dynamic balance. |
