NCT ID NCT07655973
First seen Jun 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding perturbation-based training (unexpected movements) to standard foot-intensive rehabilitation helps people recover from ankle sprains. 36 adults aged 18-35 with recent ankle sprains were split into two groups and treated for 6 weeks. Researchers measured pain, range of motion, balance, and functional instability to see if the extra training made a difference.
