About this study
Official title: Effect of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stability Exercises With and Without Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation on Balance, Proprioception, and Performance Among Badminton Players With Lateral Ankle Sprain
To examine the effects of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stability exercises with and without Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation on balance, proprioception, and functional performance in badminton players with lateral ankle sprain.
Read the detailed description
A randomized controlled trial compared Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), balance training, and conventional rehabilitation in amateur athletes with chronic ankle sprain. The findings demonstrated that both DNS and balance training significantly improved ankle stability, balance, reaction time, and functional performance, highlighting their effectiveness in rehabilitation.
A quasi-experimental study investigated the effects of ankle proprioceptive training in recreational badminton players with pronated feet. The intervention resulted in significant improvements in agility, dynamic balance, and ankle function compared with conventional training.
Another study evaluated neuromuscular training with and without kinesio taping in football players following ankle sprain. Both interventions effectively reduced pain and improved range of motion, balance, and functional performance, while the addition of kinesio taping produced greater clinical benefits.
A randomized study assessed the effectiveness of a six-week neuromuscular training program in individuals with lateral ankle sprain. The intervention significantly enhanced muscle strength, proprioception, balance, range of motion, and overall functional recovery compared with routine training.
A pilot randomized trial examined rhythmic auditory stimulation-based gait training in older adults undergoing rehabilitation. The intervention significantly improved gait speed and demonstrated its feasibility as an effective rehabilitation strategy.
A randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization on functional movement. The results showed that DNS training produced significant improvements in movement quality and functional performance compared with conventional physical fitness exercises.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization with Rhythmic Auditory StimulationOther
Also called DNS, RAS
The intervention was progressively advanced over six weeks. Baseline treatment included warm-up exercises, stretching, and basic balance training with rhythmic auditory cues. During Week 2, participants performed DNS breathing and core stabilization exercises, proprioceptive training, and Theraband ankle strengthening. In Week 4, advanced DNS postures, dynamic balance, and functional movement exercises were introduced with increased rhythmic cueing. By Week 6, participants progressed to advanced DNS exercises, unilateral balance and hopping drills, agility training, and badminton-specific movements synchronized with rhythmic auditory stimulation to enhance neuromuscular control and functional performance.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Joint Position Sense Test
It evaluates proprioception by measuring a subject's ability to actively or passively reproduce a joint angle without visual input. It has shown moderate to high reliability (ICC = 0.70-0.93) and is a valid measure of sensorimotor deficits following lateral ankle injuries. Pre and post assessment will be done.
Measured: 6 weeks
Star Excursion Balance Test
It is a dynamic balance test that assesses neuromuscular control and postural stability during multi-directional reaching tasks while standing on one leg. It demonstrates high reliability (ICC = 0.85-0.96) and good validity in identifying lower limb deficits, especially following ankle sprains and in athletic populations. Pre and post assessment will be done.
Measured: 6 weeks
Sports Ankle Rating Scale
The Sports Ankle Rating Scale is a subjective questionnaire designed to assess functional limitations, pain, and instability related to ankle injuries in athletic populations. It demonstrates good reliability (Cronbach's alpha > 0.80) and acceptable validity when compared with clinical outcomes. The scale includes sections on pain, function during sports, and instability episodes to provide a comprehensive ankle health profile. Pre and post assessment will be done.
Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization with Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization Alone in people with Ankle Sprain and Lateral Ankle Sprain, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Imran Amjad, PhD (03324390125, imran.amjad@riphah.edu.pk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
