The effect of neuromuscular training on dynamic balance and chronic ankle instability of junior basketball players

Objective: To investigate the effect of a 6-week neuromuscular training program for chronic ankle instability(CAI) on ankle stability and balance for junior basketball players. Method: A total of thirty male basketball athletes were recruited for the study. Fifteen took part in a progressive 6-week dynamic neuromuscular training and fifteen took part in a strength training programme which incorporated postural stability, strengthening, plyometrics. The Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool(CAIT) scores, Foot and ankle disability index(FADI), Star Excursion Balance Test(SEBT) measures were taken before and after the training. Results: After 6 weeks, compared to the strength training group, the neuromuscular training group showed significantly higher scores in the SEBT, FADI and CAIT. Conclusion: It can be concluded that neuromuscular training may be more effective in training dynamic balance of junior basketball players, which may help decrease chronic ankle instability.
