Effects of quarter heel raising exercise on balance and ankle strength in functional ankle instability subjects

Abstract

Background: Functional ankle instability (FAI) is defined as the subjective sensation of instability or "giving way" after an ankle sprain and occurs in approximately 40% of patients with lateral ankle instability. As an ankle joint rehabilitation intervention, heel raising exercises, toe jumping exercises, ankle joint proprioceptive exercises, as well as orthosis and taping are commonly applied to prevent the recurrence of an ankle joint injury. So this study was evaluated effect of quarter heel raising exercise (QHR) on balance and peroneus longus muscle strength in FAI subjects.Methods: Among 26 FAI subjects, 13 with FAI were assigned to the QHR group, and 13 with FAI were assigned to the control group which was no intervention. All of 30 subjects were evaluated Teskscan included static balance ability, Y balance test included dynamic balance ability with three directions which is anterior, posterolateral, posteromedial direction. Commander muscle testing included eversion/inversion strength ratio at pre-and post-intervention.Results: There was a significant interaction between group and time in static, dynamic balance, and strength. In QHR group, there was simple effect on static, dynamic balance, and strength. But control group showed no simple effect on static, dynamic balance, and strength. In the pre-and post-intervention differences between the groups. There was a significant difference in preintervention condition between the groups, but no significant difference between the groups in post-intervention in all conditions.Conclusions: QHR exercise is useful for improving the balance ability and muscle strength of the peroneus longus muscle in FAI subjects.

The effects of various stair-climbing exercises on functional mobility and trunk muscle activation in community-dwelling older adults: A pilot randomized controlled trial

“…[ 2 , 42 , 43 ] Additionally, the combination of functional movement training with ankle control training, eliciting heightened calf muscle activation, yielded favorable outcomes on dynamic balance in young adults with ankle instability and older adults. [ 40 , 44 ] It is postulated that the positive effects derived from our SCE incorporating HO may be similar to those observed.…”

Selective Strength Training Changes the Morphology and Ankle Strength of the Peroneus Longus and the Peroneus Brevis

“…The peroneus muscles are major muscles acting on ankle eversion ( Seo and Lee, 2022 ) that contribute to lateral ankle stability (Bamber et al, 2021). The main peroneal muscles are the peroneus longus (PL) and the peroneus brevis (PB), each with specific roles.…”
