Abstract

Background: The ankle is a very vulnerable area of the body and is prone to a number of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 6 weeks of proprioception training on dynamic balance and lower extremity function among basketball players with chronic ankle sprain.
Methods: 30 basketball players with chronic ankle sprains were selected and randomly divided into two groups: experimental group (with six weeks of proprioception training, n=15) and control group (without training, n=15). Functional performance and balance were assessed with the figure-of-8 hop test, side-hop test and biodex balance system. Data analysis was using SPSS Statistics Version 18 and the significance level was 0.05.
Results: The statistical results showed that after proprioception training, the experimental group in dynamic and functional test score improvement but there was no significant difference in the control group.
Conclusions: Because of lateral ankle sprains are often inadequately treated, recurrence of ankle sprains. Due to the complex anatomy and mechanics of the ankle joint and pathophysiology associated with chronic ankle sprain, a full and comprehensive rehabilitation of the damage is very important. According to the result of this study, the proprioception exercises for rehabilitation protocol after chronic ankle sprain injury should be done by clinicians.
