Summary

This study will test whether adding ankle mobility exercises or hip mobility exercises to standard rehab works better for people with chronic ankle instability. Forty adults aged 18-30 will be split into two groups and attend three sessions per week for six weeks. Researchers will measure flexibility, range of motion, ankle stability, and balance to see which approach is more effective.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: mobility exercises (ankle or hip) plus traditional rehabilitation
What this could lead to: If this trial succeeds, it could show which type of mobility exercise better improves flexibility, range of motion, and balance in people with chronic ankle instability.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants and no blinding, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises are non-invasive, but individual responses may vary.
