Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pain intensity based on visual analog scale (VAS). Timepoint: The VAS number to measure pain intensity was measured before the intervention, 2 weeks after the intervention, and after its completion (one month) in both the high-power laser therapy and exercise-based rehabilitation groups. Method of measurement: VAS Scoring System: Patients' pain scores are measured using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). This scale is usually designed as a straight line 10 cm long, with the words "no pain" written on one side and "worst possible pain" on the other, and each point on the line represents a level of pain intensity from 0 to 10.;Ankle instability. Timepoint: The BESS score to measure ankle instability was recorded before the intervention, 2 weeks after the intervention, and after its completion (one month) in both the laser therapy and rehabilitation groups. Method of measurement: Balance Error Scoring Test (BESS): This test is a quantitative test that counts and scores defined errors during the test. In a single-leg stance, the subject stands on the injured side, flexing the opposite knee 40 to 50 degrees and the opposite hip 20 to 30 degrees. During the test, if the subject cannot maintain balance for at least 5 seconds, the test is considered incomplete. The maximum standard error score for each test session is 10. | — |
