Comparison of the effects of exergaming and balance training on dynamic postural stability during jump-landing in recreational athletes with chronic ankle instability.

ABSTRACT: The primary inquiry of this study was to determine if exergaming is more effective than balance training in improving dynamic postural control during jump-landing movements among athletes with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Additionally, the study aimed to compare the effectiveness of these interventions on clinical and psychological outcomes. This study was a randomized, single-blinded, controlled trial in which participants were assigned to either an exergaming group or a balance training group. Outcome measures were assessed before, after, and one month following the intervention. Primary outcomes included the stability index (SI) and time to stabilization (TTS) in the anteroposterior (AP), mediolateral (ML), and vertical (V) directions, the dynamic postural stability index (DPSI), an
