Study aim
-
Determining the effect of hip muscle strengthening on postural control in people with functional ankle instability
-
Design
-
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, double-blind.Random assignment of patients to two groups is done by permutation block stratified randomization method. First, fligible patients are classified according to age, sex and BMI, respectively. These blocks were ceated using statistical software R version 4.0.2. People will be randomly divided into two groups, including the group of routine exercises(B) and the group of hip strengthening exercises(A).Initially, 10 patients will be selected as a pilot sample in each group.

Settings and conduct
-
Razmjoghaddam physiotherapy clinic in zahedan, iran.
Three sets of ten exercises will be performed, with a 60-second break between each exercise.In This research, the double-blind method is used. So that patients and statisticians will not be aware of the Intervention

Exclusion:Existence of mechanical functional instability in the affected ankle by performing anterior drawer test
-
Intervention groups
-
Ankle strengthening group exercises(routine group):strengthening dorsiflexion and plantar flexion with theraband, weight bearing on heel and toe, maintaining balance on tilt board and leg reaches exercise
hip strengthening group exercises:In addition to ankle exercises, strengthening exercises to abduction, extention and external rotation of the hip, clam shell exercises and lateral step exercises.
