Randomized trial improved ankle function and postural control in patients with functional ankle instability, indicating that new balance devices are effective.
Key Points
Balance device training significantly improved postural control and ankle function in patients with functional ankle instability.
The ensiform ankle balance device group showed superior results in compared metrics, demonstrating efficacy over the spherical device group.
Participants underwent an 8-week training program involving new balance devices to enhance stability and function.
Statistically significant differences were observed in peroneal muscle reaction time and ankle torque after the intervention.
