Can stronger hips fix a wobbly ankle? new study investigates

NCT ID NCT07319403

Summary

This study aims to find out if strengthening specific hip muscles is more effective than standard ankle exercises for improving stability and function in athletes with chronic ankle instability. It will enroll 36 professional athletes who have a history of ankle sprains and ongoing feelings of their ankle 'giving way.' Participants will be randomly assigned to follow a focused exercise program targeting either their hip or ankle muscles, or a standard balance program, to see which approach works best.
