Ankle Ligament Injuries
Conditions
Interventions
Control Group:Visual Feedback Balance Training
Training was conducted using a balance function assessment and training system (Model: SY-PH710B), with the specific protocol as follows:
Static Balance
coronal plane: -0° (inversion) ~ +15° (eversion)). Patients adjusted their body posture based on visual feedback to complete trajectory training. Each training session lasted 20 minutes, once a day, 5
Experimental group:Visual Feedback Balance Training: Same as the control group
TECAR Therapy: A radiofrequency physical therapy instrument (Model: XSSP-3SE, Tianjin Shunbo Medical Equipment) was used, with specific operations as follows:
? Electrode Selection: Two circular non-i
? Treatment Mode: Resistive mode (for ligament and tendon ti
