Effect of Novel Remodeled Bicycle Pedal Training on Balance Performance in Athletes With Functional Ankle Instability.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Appropriate training without risk of injury is a critical concern for athletes. Remodeled bicycle pedal training with multi-directional challenges may be effective in improving the balance performance of athletes with functional ankle instability (FAI).

Objective

To evaluate the effects of 6-week modified bicycle pedal training on the balance ability and proprioception of athletes with FAI.

Design

Randomized controlled trial.

Setting

University motion analysis laboratory.

Participants

Fourteen healthy athletes (healthy group) and twenty-six athletes with FAI and an age of 18 to 30 years old. The participants with FAI were randomly distributed to two groups, designated as the training group (AI-T group) and non-training group (AI-NT group), respec
