Official title
Effects of Targeted Mobility Interventions at the Ankle Versus Hip on Clinical and Functional Outcomes in Chronic Ankle Instability
Overview
This study will be conducted to determine the effect of addition of ankle mobility versus hip mobility exercises to traditional rehabilitation to patients with chronic ankle instability. the main purpose is to answer the following question: * out of these interventions which would better improve lower limb flexibility, range of motion, severity of functional instability and dynamic postural control? Researcher will compare between ankle mobility versus hip mobility exercises Participants will be allocated in 2 experimental groups: * group A will include 20 patients receiving conventional physiotherapy in addition to ankle mobility exercises * group B will include 20 patients receiving conventional physiotherapy in addition to hip mobility exercises Patients will receive 3 sessions per week for 6 weeks in a physiotherapy outpatient facility for both groups
Interventions
- Other traditional rehabilitation for Chronic Ankle Instability
* Ankle muscles strengthening exercises * balance training - Other Ankle mobility exercises
9 ankle mobility exercises including: ankle pumps, ankle circles, forward lunges, plantarflexion stretch, calf stretch, squat with overhead reach, heel drops on step, ankle flexion with band and scoops - Other Hip mobility exercises
8 hip mobility exercises including: 90/90 hip stretch, frog stretch, world's greatest stretch, banded hamstring stretch, backward lunges, butterfly, pigeon stretch and banded hip stretch.
Primary outcome measures
- lower limb flexibility [Time frame: 6 weeks]
- Range of motion [Time frame: 6 weeks]
- severity of chronic ankle instability [Time frame: 6 weeks]
- Dynamic postural control [Time frame: 6 weeks]
