This study aimed to investigate the effect of six weeks of neuromuscular training on muscle strength, balance, range of motion and preconception in men with lateral ankle ligament sprains.
This intervention study was a non-blinded clinical trial. The main inclusion criteria were: male patients with lateral ankle ligament sprains (grade I and II) in the dominant leg؛ injured within the last 6 months and ranging in age from 18 to 35 years who received routine physiotherapy when entering the study and had no pain and swelling.
The exclusion criteria were: presence of other injuries in the lower extremities؛ damages affecting the balance (scoliosis and amputation), history of inner ear problems and vertigo؛ any kind of problem in the nervous system؛ problems with vision which were not corrected؛ age over 35 years and under 18 years؛ not completing the therapy sessions until the end of the 6th week for any reason and also the injured ankle not being in the dominant leg.
A total of 17 male patients with lateral ankle ligament sprains performed neuromuscular training for six weeks and the effect of these exercises on muscle strength, balance, range of motion and preconception will be measured.
