Chronic Ankle instability
Conditions
Interventions
Study participants underwent two experiments , one which aimed to investigate the balance of the participants and the other was to investigate the electrical activity of the muscles studied . In Exper

Eligibility
Age
18 Years to 30 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: aged 18 to 30 years of age; history of two or more ankle sprains, with at least a sprain in the last six months; sensation of ankle instability, ie, the feeling that the ankle "out of place" during functional activities (work, leisure and / or sport); and score below 28 on the validated Portuguese-Brazil version of Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: acute signs of inflammation (pain, heat, redness, swelling) at the ankle; and history of fractures, rheumatic problems, neurological, or any other disease in the lower limbs that could impair the performance of the tasks proposed by the study.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Modifications of the integrals of the electromyographic activity (EMG)of the following muscles: soleus (SOL), gastrocnemius (medial - lateral and gasm - GasL), peroneus longus (FL), tibialis anterior (TA) , rectus femoris (RF)and biceps femoris (BF), with the balance training. The values were obtained during the task of kicking a ball, immediately pre-and post-intervention. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Reduction in the displacement of the body center of pressure (COP) semi-static, measured during task performance in the individual stood on one foot on the force platform for 10 seconds immediately before and after the intervention.;Magnitude of the integrals of the electromyographic activity (EMG) onset (beginning) and latency muscle (LM) of the following muscles: soleus (SOL), gastrocnemius (medial - lateral and gasm - GasL), peroneus longus (FL), tibial anterior (TA), rectus femoris (RF), biceps femoris (BF) and adductor (AD), modified with balance training, when evaluated individually. The values were obtained during the task of kicking a ball, immediately pre-and post-intervention.;Increase in displacement of the body center of pressure (COP) dynamic measured during the task in which the individual had to kick the ball thrown immediately pre-and post-intervention. | — |
