Effects of Balance Training on Corticospinal Excitability in People With Chronic Ankle Instability

"Participants will undergo a 4-week balance training protocol modified from that described previously.~Participants will undergo supervised exercise three times per week for approximately 30 minutes per session. The exercise consists of single-leg balance training, hop to stabilization, and hop to stabilization plus reaching activities as presented in Figure 1. Particularly, the levels of difficulty will be progressed with visual conditions (eyes open and eyes closed), time (sec), and base of support (floor and foam pad) while hopping distance (inches) for single-leg and hopping activities, respectively. These activities will be progressed in difficulty as participants become proficient at the task."
