Stroboscopic visual training combined with balance exercises for chronic ankle instability: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to assess the impact of combining stroboscopic visual training (SVT) with balance training on balance performance and self-reported ankle stability in individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI).

Methods

This study followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (Registration No.: CRD420251076956) in advance. The meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 16.0 software. A thorough systematic search of six databases, such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), was carried out to find randomized controlled trials that included patients with CAI who received SVT along with balance interventions. Cohen's d was used to calculate standardized mean differences (SMDs),
