Dual-Task Training For Chronic Ankle Instability: A Meta-Analysis .
Effects of dual-task training on chronic ankle instability: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord . 2023 Oct 13;24(1):814.Six randomized controlled trials (192 patients) comparing dual-task training against a control for chronic ankle instability (CAI) were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. Outcomes of interest included the Y-balance test, center of pressure area, center of pressure velocity, Figure 8 hopping test, and the balance error scoring system. Overall, the results of the study were that the center of pressure area and Y-balance test favored the dual-task training group. All other outcomes were similar between the two groups. These findings suggest that utilizing dual-task training in individuals with CAI may have favorable effects on static and dynamic postural stability.
