About this study
Official title: The Comparison of the Effectiveness of Unilateral and Bilateral Exercise Training in Patients With Lateral Ankle Instability
70% of the general population suffers ankle injuries at least once in their lifetime. The ankle lateral ligament injuries cause an average of 6.9 days of work loss, and it has been reported that the quality of life of these patients is affected by their long-term results. Exercise training is important to prevent job loss, increase individuals' quality of life, or speed up their return to work. Functional or chronic insufficiency resulting from ankle ligament injury results in various abnormalities in the lower extremity. Motor coordination disorders due to instability, adhesions, peroneal muscle weakness, and loss of proprioception can be seen in the talus or subtalar joint. Instabilities are usually caused by loss of strength after an acute lateral ligament injury, hypomobility in the joint, inadequate improvement in proprioception, or inadequate healing of the ligament.
Almost 40% of patients with lateral ankle injury develop a condition known as chronic ankle instability. The cause of chronic ankle instability is classified as mechanical ankle instability (MAI) and functional ankle instability (FAI). While MAI is caused by ligament laxity, other factors such as proprioceptive problems, neuromuscular problems, postural control deficiencies, and muscle weakness are caused by FAI. For this reason, peroneal muscle strengthening, Achilles tendon stretching, balance training, and proprioceptive training are shown as the most important components of the treatment program in the rehabilitation of ankle instabilities. (5) It has been reported by many researchers that functional instability can be reduced and repetitive injuries can be prevented in patients given proprioceptive training and peroneal muscle strengthening on the balance board. In the results of another study evaluating bilaterally in the lower limb after balance training given to the intact side in individuals with chronic ankle instability, it was stated that the balance function of the unstable ankle was developed.
Although the treatment methods of ankle instability vary, there are very limited studies comparing treatment methods unilaterally and bilaterally in the ankle lateral instability in the literature. Our study will contribute to the literature to the next rehabilitation programs by comparing unilateral and bilateral exercise training prepared by rehabilitation protocols in many ways in two different groups.
Read the detailed description
Ankle ligament injuries are one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries among physically active people, accounting for ~ 14% of all sports-related orthopedic clinic visits. And it is stated that injuries that delay the return to sports the most. 4% of these injuries and the most common are the lateral ankle ligament injuries. 70% of the general population, not only specific to sports, suffers ankle injuries at least once in their lifetime. The ankle lateral ligament injuries cause an average of 6.9 days of work loss, and it has been reported that the quality of life of these patients is affected by their long-term results. When people who play sports are taken into consideration, an ankle sprain can affect the quality of life of the individual, as well as reduce performance and keep it away from education and competition.
Ankle sprains often occur during physical activities such as basketball and football, which require sudden stops, bounces, landings, and swings around a stable foot. Most lateral ankle sprains occur when combined with excessive inversion or adduction with additional plantar flexion.
Functional or chronic deficiencies develop in the lower limbs as a result of ankle ligament injury, resulting in various abnormalities. Motor coordination disorders due to instability, adhesions, peroneal muscle weakness, and loss of proprioception can be seen in the talus or subtalar joint. Instabilities are usually caused by loss of strength after an acute lateral ligament injury, hypomobility in the joint, inadequate improvement in proprioception, or inadequate healing of the ligament. Almost 40% of patients with lateral ankle injury develop a condition known as chronic ankle instability (CAI). CAI is characterized by the occurrence of recurrent cases of instability that cause constant ankle sprain and the giving-way sensation of the ankle after the first ankle sprain. The diagnostic criteria are detailed in the International Ankle Consortium, Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) is often used to evaluate functional ankle instability.
Among the most important factors causing instability in the ankle are proprioceptive disorders, pain, and muscle weakness. Therefore, rehabilitation programs generally focus on exercises that include muscle strengthening, balance training, neuromuscular training, and proprioceptive training protocols. In another combined supporting study, Huang et al. investigated the effects of combined balance exercises with plyometric exercise against plyometric exercise in individuals with functional ankle instability and showed that the combined program will reduce postural oscillation in static conditions, and improve stability and energy propagation models in dynamic postural control. One of the factors contributing to CAI is thought to be the loss of strength of the ankle circumference muscle groups in both concentric and eccentric directions. It is assumed that a decrease in the strength of the muscles of the more proximal joints, such as knee and hip, not just ankle oriented, may also be effective in the formation of CAI.
It has been shown in systematic review and meta-analysis that proprioception disorder contributes to chronic ankle imbalance. In another study in individuals with unilateral chronic ankle instability, both extremities were evaluated in terms of strength and proprioception, a decrease in the sensation of kinesthesia was observed, and loss of eversion force and proprioceptive disorders were reported on both sides.
Although ankle instability treatment approaches vary widely in all these studies, there is no detailed study comparing applications unilaterally and bilaterally in the literature. Our study will contribute to the literature to the next rehabilitation programs by comparing unilateral and bilateral exercise training prepared by rehabilitation protocols in many ways in two different groups

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Foot and Ankle Ability Measure
The Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) is a self-report outcome instrument developed to assess physical function for individuals with foot and ankle related impairments.The Foot and Ankle Ability Measure is a 29-item questionnaire divided into two subscales: the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure, 21-item Activities of Daily Living Subscale and the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure, 8-item Sports Subscale. The Sports subscale assesses more difficult tasks that are essential to sport, it is a population-specific subscale designed for athlete
Measured: 2 weeks
Visual Analog Scale
A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a measurement instrument that tries to measure a characteristic or attitude that is believed to range across a continuum of values and cannot easily be directly measured.[1] It is often used in epidemiologic and clinical research to measure the intensity or frequency of various symptoms. The pain VAS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity, which has been widely used in diverse adult populations.
Measured: 2 weeks
Single Heel Rise Test
It is used to test the muscle strength of the ankle plantar flexors. The participants will be asked to repeat the movement until the point they cannot perform due to pain or fatigue, and their repetition numbers will be noted. In the test, the number of 25 repeats is considered normal.
Measured: 2 weeks
Single Leg Stance Test
Single Leg Stance Test is used to measure static balance. The person is asked to stand on one leg for 60 seconds.
The time it remains in balance is recorded. Contact of the leg in the air with any surface is considered unsuccessful. It is applied in two different ways: eyes open and eyes closed.
Measured: 2 weeks
Assesment of Lower Limb Muscle Strength
Hand held dynamometer, which is a valid and reliable method, will be used to evaluate the muscle strength of the lower limbs. Plantar flexion, dorsiflexion inversion and eversion muscle strength, hip flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation and external rotation muscle strength of the participants will be measured. The highest value obtained by performing 3 attempts in each measurement will be recorded.
Measured: 2 weeks
Balance Error Scoring System
The Balance Error Scoring System is an objective measure of assessing static postural stability. In the evaluations, 2 different surfaces are used, one of which is hard and the other is soft ground. .Postural stability is evaluated for 20 seconds in 3 different positions as double foot, single foot and tandem posture on each floor. Scoring is done according to the number of errors made. The lowest score is 0 errors and the highest score is 6. Points from the subcategory are added to calculate the total score.
Measured: 2 weeks
Star Excursion Balance Test
It is used to evaluate the dynamic balance and postural control of the participants. The test layout consists of 8 lines arranged at a 45 ° angle from a center point. Participants will be asked to reach as much as possible in 8 different directions with one leg while standing in balance with one leg. The distance reached is recorded.
Measured: 2 weeks
Joint Position Sensation Measurement
The perception of the joint position is measured by active and passive repositioning.
Passive repositioning: The person to be tested is asked to learn the position by positioning the joint at a certain angle. Then, when the joint is passively moved, it is asked to stop the movement when it reaches the previously learned position. The numerical difference between the angle the person finds and the angle previously taught is evaluated.
Active repositioning: The person who was previously taught to find the position taught by the person is asked to move and the numerical difference is recorded.
Measured: 2 weeks
Vertical Jump Test
The Vertical Jump (Sargent Jump) test is used to assess the person's vertical explosive force. In the test, the maximum height that the person can reach by lifting his arm while standing still is measured. Then the person is asked to jump as high as he can reach where he is. In the evaluation, the difference between the height that the individual can reach when standing and the height that he can reach by jumping is taken. This test is repeated three times, the best of all jumps are the performance of the person.
Measured: 2 weeks
Single Leg Jumping Distance Measurement
Single Leg Jump test is a valid and reliable functional performance test where participants are asked to jump forward as much as possible (53). The distance between the jump is measured by reference to the toes.
Measured: 2 weeks
Side jump Test
Participants are asked to jump 30 cm on one leg. It consists of jumping up to 30 cm again and returning to the starting point. Each participant is asked to repeat 10 times and do it as quickly as possible. Completion time is recorded.
Measured: 2 weeks
