Ankle SprainsNCT06520046
Motor Control Prevention Strategies in Basketball Players
A study testing Experimental Group in people with Ankle Sprains and Motor Disorders, run by University of Salamanca.
Trial summary
Ankle sprains have always been considered as isolated injury entities, in which the passive ankle stabilisation system suffered an elongation due to trauma. Today, this concept of an isolated injury has evolved into a more holistic concept, interrelated with various components from different sources. Read more about this study

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Experimental GroupOther
Propioceptive exercises
Control GroupOther
Usual exercises
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Motor control group | Experimental | Basketball players aged between 10-18 years old who play regularly in one of the basketball sports clubs in the city of Salamanca.
The study will be carried out in 20 sessions. As for the proprioception and balance work, a simple proposal of exercises will be made, increasing the difficulty from the fifth session onwards. From the 10th session onwards, unstable surfaces will be introduced as long as our athletes are capable of achieving the task of less complexity. If it is not possible to progress in intensity, the same level will be maintained. Receives: Other: Experimental Group |
| Control | Active comparator | Basketball players aged between 10-18 years old who play regularly in one of the basketball sports clubs in the city of Salamanca.
These participants shall carry out their usual treatment Receives: Other: Control Group |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Range of motion
Measurements of the articular range of the ankle joint
Measured: At the beginning and at 9 months
Musculature Strength
Measurement of the strength of the musculature of the back of the leg by means of isokinetic tests
Measured: At the beginning and at 9 months
Presence of Myofascial trigger points
Diagnostic criteria established by Travell and Simons, the presence or absence of active or latent myofascial trigger points will be assessed.
Measured: At the beginning and at 9 months
Speed of contraction of the musculature
By means of the isokinetic tests and the aforementioned exploratory curves, the speed of contraction of the musculature of the back of the leg and foot will be evaluated
Measured: At the beginning and at 9 months

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Rocío Llamas-Ramos, PhD (657854188, rociollamas@usal.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Range of motion (time frame: At the beginning and at 9 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Dec 2024.
