Core Stability Traning Exercises in Chronic Ankle Instability in Atheletes

To study the effect of adding Core stability exercise to the conventional Program of Chronic ankle instability on balance, Functional instability, and Performance in athletes with CAI

Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) is a prevalent and debilitating condition that afflicts a considerable portion of the population (Al Adal et al.,2020) it is a condition characterized by repetitive episodes or perceptions of the ankle giving way; ongoing symptoms such as pain, weakness, or reduced ankle range of motion (ROM); diminished self-reported function; and recurrent ankle sprains that persist for more than 1 year after the initial injury (Gribble et al.,2013). Purpose of the Study To study the effect of adding Core stability exercise to the conventional Program of Chronic ankle instability on balance, Functional instability, and Performance in athletes with CAI Methods:Triple Blinded RCT (Blinded: Participants, Research Assistant (for assessment of patient pre- and post-intervention) and statistician) Results :An unpaired t-test will be conducted for comparison of age, weight, and height between groups. * Chi-squared test will be conducted for comparison of sex distribution between groups * Mixed MANOVA will be conducted to compare the effect of time (pre versus post) and the effect of treatment (between groups), as well as the interaction between time and treatment on dependent variables. * The level of significance for all statistical tests will be set at p \< 0.05. * All statistical measures will be performed through the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 25 for Windows.
