Investigating the Effects of Closed Kinetic Chain Exercises on Proprioception and Inversion/Eversion Strength Imbalance of the Ankle Joint in Track and Field Athletes With Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome

Purpose: Correct proprioceptive information and muscle balance of the ankle joint muscles are essential in preventing sports injuries. This study aims to investigate effect closed kinetic chain exercises on proprioception inversion/eversion strength imbalance track field athletes with medial tibial stress syndrome. Methods: was a randomized controlled trial study. In present study, 22 male history syndrome 11 without were purposefully selected divided into 3 groups people as follows: 1) Closed group, 2) The control 3) healthy group. evaluation absolute error position sense done using isokinetic dynamometer device actively leg Isokinetic testing performed at 30°/s 120°/s assess invertor evertor ankle. After evaluating variables pre-test, experimental group received three days each week for 8 weeks. During this period, did not perform any exercises. Finally, after executing protocol, mentioned measured again post-test. analysis covariance test used check variables. addition, number changes between checked by Bonferroni statistical test. Results: results one-way variance showed no significant difference mean pre-test (P≤0.05). exercises, control, post hoc regarding investigation intergroup difference. A observed post-intervention joint. differences Conclusion: It seems that under influence specialized training course athletes, because establishing area, performance improves.
