Study on the effect of blood flow restriction training combined with IASTAM on ankle strength and function intervention in athletes with chronic ankle instability in sport dance events.

研究概要

Thirty athletes with chronic ankle instability (CAI) were randomized to receive either blood flow restriction training (BFRT) combined with instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) (n=15) or traditional ankle strength and stability training (n=15). The primary outcome was ankle stability measured using the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT). Secondary outcomes included ankle function (FAAM-ADL and FAAM-SPORT), range of motion, and strength. Outcomes were assessed at pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention, and after 4 weeks. Overall, the results showed that both groups achieved significant improvements in stability, strength, and range of motion (P<0.05), but the test group demonstrated superior results in CAIT scores, FAAM-SPORT scores, and specific range of motion parameters. The findings suggest that BFRT combined with IASTM enhances rehabilitation outcomes more effectively than traditional training for CAI athletes​.
