Summary

This study looked at 60 athletes to understand how past ankle sprains affect muscle size, ligament thickness, balance, and strength. Researchers compared athletes with and without a history of ankle sprains using ultrasound and balance tests. The goal is to find early warning signs that could help prevent future sprains.

Who is studied

This study is a retrospective, cross-sectional investigation conducted to evaluate the relationship between intrinsic risk factors, including muscle and ligament sizes, dynamic balance, postural stability, proprioception and ankle instability in athletes diagnosed with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Participants will be equally recruited into the group with athletes who have a lateral ankle sprain history (LAS Group) and the Control group, with consideration for gender stratification (groups will have the same number of males and females).
