About this trial
This study aims to investigate the relationship between pelvic alignment and ankle stability in male athletes with and without a history of ankle sprain.
Chronic ankle instability is a common condition that may affect not only the ankle joint but also the alignment and function of other body segments, including the pelvis. Understanding this relationship may help improve injury prevention and rehabilitation strategies.
Participants will undergo clinical assessments, functional tests, and radiographic evaluation of pelvic parameters to compare findings between injured and non-injured groups.
The objective of this study is to determine whether differences in pelvic sagittal parameters are associated with ankle instability in male athletes.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Male football players aged between 18 and 35 years (Herzog et al., 2019; Jiang et al., 2022).
A documented history of lateral ankle sprain (LAS) for at least 12 months before the study, with the initial injury resulting in a minimum of one day of weight-bearing restriction.
Self-reported episodes of ankle "giving way" occurring at least twice within the 6-12 months preceding enrollment.
The most recent injury must have occurred more than 3 months before study enrollment.
Disqualifiers
Bilateral LAS (Tahoon et al., 2022).
Previous injury, fracture, or surgical intervention involving the spine, pelvis, or lower extremity.
History of low back pain requiring medical or surgical intervention.
Engagement in supervised or unsupervised ankle rehabilitation within one month before the study.
