First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new type of physical therapy that also addresses fear of movement in 36 people with chronic ankle instability. Participants attended sessions over 3 weeks, and researchers measured how many completed the program, changes in balance, and quality of life. The goal was to see if this combined approach is practical and helpful.
