Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Summary

This study tested a new ankle training machine in 14 athletes with chronic ankle instability. The machine allows for multi-directional strengthening while sitting. Researchers compared it to standard resistance band training over six weeks, measuring muscle strength, balance, and jumping ability. The goal was to see if the machine provides better results for athletes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
multiaxial ankle strengthening training machine
What this could lead to
If effective, this machine could offer athletes a better way to strengthen their ankles and improve stability after sprains.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, completed study with only 14 participants. The machine is new and more research is needed to confirm its benefits over simpler methods.
