Summary
This study looks at whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve chronic ankle instability when added to standard ankle exercises. Forty adults with a history of ankle sprains will be randomly assigned to receive either real or sham rTMS along with ankle training for 4 weeks. The goal is to see if rTMS can boost ankle stability and change brain activity related to ankle control.
