Rehabilitative Exercise and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Muscle Morphology .
Effects of Rehabilitative Exercise and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Muscle Morphology and Dynamic Balance in Individuals with Chronic Ankle Instability.
Medicina (Kaunas) . 2024 Jul 22;60(7):1187.Forty-seven physically active participants with chronic ankle instability were randomized into four groups: control (n=12), rehabilitative exercise (n=12), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (n=11), or their combination (n=12). The primary outcomes assessed were changes in muscle morphology (cross-sectional area and muscle thickness) and dynamic balance (Y-Balance Test and Square Hop Test). Outcomes were measured at baseline and after six weeks. Overall, the results showed significant improvements in muscle morphology and dynamic balance in all intervention groups, except the control group. The study suggests that combined interventions may provide synergistic benefits for managing chronic ankle instability.
