Summary

This study looks at whether adding core stability exercises or cognitive training to standard rehab can improve balance and control in people with chronic ankle instability. About 45 adults aged 18–30 with a history of ankle sprains will take part. The goal is to find better ways to reduce ankle giving-way and pain.

The patient has a history of at least one significant ankle sprain with associated inflammatory symptoms and at least one day of interrupted physical activity. 5\. Patients who have unilateral chronic ankle instability. 6. Self-reported ankle instability should be confirmed using a validated ankle instability questionnaire (greater than 24). Exclusion Criteria: Those with a history of spine, pelvis, and lower extremity injury, fracture, or surgery 2- Those with low back pain that require medical or surgical intervention. 3- Having a history of an acute lower extremity injury or lower extremity surgery or fracture in the 3 months before the Study 4.
