EFFECT OF BALANCE TRAINING ON ATHLETES WITH FUNCTIONAL ANKLE INSTABILITY OF ANKLE JOINT

Introduction: The ankle is an amazing structure because it helps transfer vertical to horizontal weight bearing and rarely deteriorates over the course of a life time.This study aims find out prevalence functional instability in athletes determine effect posturography training on balance with joint instability. Material Methods: This was conducted two phases. In first phase after obtaining informed consent, descriptive among 453 students from Department Physical Education were included (FAI). participants distributed Modified Ankle Instability Instrument questionnaire brief explanation about FAI studied. instrument has high reliability,feasible appropriate way obtain information presence symptoms.21It contains 11 yes/no type questions.9 questions focus injury,last 2 knee for exclusion purpose.12 questionnaires found be incomplete remaining 441 completed taken data analysis.Among questionnaires,207 excluded as they have leg injuries.With 234, 43 18.4%.From them, 39 entered II given using commercially available device, Posturograph-the Biodex Balance Stability System (BSS) (Biodex, Inc., Shirley, New York). Results: 18.4% present study.The most common age group 21-25 years(52.2%). Male (58.5%) outnumbered female participants(41.5%). Most had normal BMI.Underweight population 20.4% overweight 5.9%. events participated by football (25.85%),basketball (14.51%) volley ball (12.24%).Of total ,207 (46.9%) associated injuries hence not analysis.There no association between relation gender game - wise demonstrated above table.There significant observed BMI hockey players ( = 6.195, p =0.045).There difference anterior reach distance,posteromedial posterolateral distance affected at baseline (p <0.05) Conclusion: results showed that posturograph effectively improved also enhances stability ankle. addition, may increase patients interest participation rate treatment more than existing therapy methods.
