Effect of Comprehensive Rehabilitation Direction on Functional Ankle Instability
Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of comprehensive rehabilitation direction on functional ankle instability (FAI). Methods 32 consecutive patients with FAI were divided into 2 groups. The rehabilitation group (n=16) finished their rehabilitation program under the instruction of physiotherapists in the hospital, and the control group (n=16) exercised at home by written instruction. All the patients were tested with One Leg Standing Test (OLST) and Foot and Ankle Disability Index (FADI) for the injured ankle before and 4 weeks after train-ing. Results The scores of both OLST and FADI improved after training in the rehabilitation group (P<0.01), but did not in the control group (P>0.05);and improved more in the rehabilitation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The comprehensive rehabili-tation direction is effctive on FAI.
