The Effectiveness of Different Proprioceptive Mat, Balance Board and Resistance Band Exercise Training Programme to Prevent Ankle Sprain in Athletes
Abstract
Ankle sprain is the injury to one or more ligament in the ankle. It represents one of the most common injuries associated with sport and activity, therefore studies into how to best prevent this condition from occurring are recognised as essential. Due to ankle sprain the ankle movements are restricted. This study intended the effectiveness of different proprioceptive mat, balance board and resistance band exercise to prevent the recurrent ankle sprain in athletes. It was a comparative study design, a sample of 30 subjects were included in the study with a pre-test and post-test study design. The subjects were selected by convenient sampling method based on an initial baseline assessment and diagnosis of their condition by consultant Orthopedics/ Orthopedic surgeons/physicians. The subjects were then assigned into two groups; Group A-training was administered per day received both proprioceptive different mat, balance board and resistance band exercise training programme and normal training programme and Group B-Control group training was administered per day received only normal training programme. A three months programme was set up. The exercise session was performed for a week, lasting for 1 h. After comparing all the values the result showed that the different proprioceptive mat, balance board and resistance band exercise were more effective to prevent the ankle sprain in athletes.
