Efficacy of adding mobilization and balance exercises to a home-based exercise program in patients with ankle disability: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ankle joint fractures account for 10.2% of all fractures. It has been hypothesized that mobilizing the ankle joint is a crucial intervention for improving balance and range of motion (ROM).

Objective

The current study explores the impact of incorporating mobilization, balance training, and physical therapy exercises into a home-based program on pain, ROM, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and peak muscle torque in patients with ankle disability following road traffic accidents (RTAs).

Methods

In this single-blinded, randomized controlled trial, 60 participants with post-RTA ankle disability were randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group. The experimental group underwent home-based exercises combined with mobilization, bal
