“…Weight bearing exercises cause joint approximation, improve co-contraction of agonist and antagonist muscles, improve movement control, dynamic stability, and neuromuscular control, and improve proprioception and balance (Kisner & Colby, 2002;Sulivan et al, 1982;Sullivan et al, 2001;Voss et al, 1985). Past studies revealed that weight bearing and balancing exercises can improve balance parameters in a posterior-medial direction during standing balancing tests such as the star excursion balance test (Burcal et al, 2019), both the posterior-anterior index and the overall index of balance (Youssef et al, 2018), increased activity of peroneal muscles (Nam & Choi, 2017;Yoshida et al, 2015), decreased ankle instability when landing from a jump (Yoshida et al, 2015), and increased power (Smith et al, 2012). Some studies have reported that these exercises, in combination with other exercises, improve proprioception; however, when these exercises were used alone they did not decrease angle repositioning error (Amrinder et al, 2012;Eils & Rosenbaum, 2001;Ha et al, 2018;Lee et al, 2019;Liu et al, 2012) .…”
