Study of effect and persistence of six weeks of wobble board training and kinesiotape on joint position sense, lower extremity function and balance in athletes with functional ankle instability
Study of effect and persistence of six weeks of wobble board training and kinesiotape on joint position sense, lower extremity function and balance in athletes with functional ankle instability
Design
36 female athletes with functional ankle instability divided into two experimental and one control groups. The simple randomization method was used to assign individuals to two groups that in this method, random allocation software was used to create a random sequence.
Settings and conduct
The present study is a quasi-experimental research with a pre-test post-test design and follow up with two experimental group and a one control group. 36 Female Athletes with Functional Ankle Instability randomly divided into two experimental and one control groups. Position sense, lower extremity function and balance are measured before and after and one month after stopping exercises.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Female athletes in the age range of 20 to 30 years old; history of at least one ankle inversion injury in the last two years; ability to bear body weight; normal gait and full range of motion in the ankle joint
Intervention groups
First Intervention Group Includes Female Athletes with Functional Ankle Instability who Receive Wobble Board Training.
The Second Intervention Group Includes Female Athletes with Functional Ankle Instability who Receive Kinesiotape.
The Control Group Includes Female Athletes with Functional Ankle Instability who did not Receive any Intervention.
Main outcome variables
Position sense; lower extremity function; balance

Randomization description
The simple Randomization Method was used to assign individuals to three groups that in this method, Random Allocation Software was used to create a random sequence. Then, in order not to determine which group the individuals will be assigned to before dividing them into two groups, or in other words, allocation concealment, the central randomization method was used.
