Hop Stabilization Training Improves Functional Movement Patterns and Quality of Life in Female Athletes With Chronic Ankle Instability.

研究概要

30 female athletes with chronic ankle instability and randomized them equally to hop stabilization training or control. One participant from each group did not complete the study, resulting in 14 participants analyzed per group. The outcomes were dorsiflexion range of motion measured by the weight-bearing lunge test, functional movement patterns assessed by Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and Fusionetics scoring, and patient-reported outcomes including the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT), Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) for ADL and Sport, and Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) subscales. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks. Overall, the hop stabilization group demonstrated statistically significant improvements in dorsiflexion range of motion, all functional movement scores, and all patient-reported outcomes compared with control.
