The camparison of the effect of the three rehabilitation methods of traditional, suit therapy and combined on dynamic balance in athletics with lateral ankle sprain

Lateral ankle sprain is one of the most acute injuries that because of making damage to proprioception and causing balance decrease, result in high risk of reinjuries therefore the aim of this study was to the camparison of the effect of the three rehabilitation methods of traditional, suit therapy and combined on dynamic balance in athletics with lateral ankle sprain Material and methods: Thirty athletes suffering from grade 3 of lateral ankle sprain participated voluntairly in this study. They were divided in to three groups of rehabilitation. Athletes participated in rehabilitation training for eight week( three sessions each week for 45 minuts each session). Dynamic balance was assessed using modify star test in three directions of anterior, inside posterior and lateral posterior before and after eight weeks. Data were analysed using covariance test (P<0/05). The results of study showed significant difference in dynamic balance between three group(P<0/05), between combination method with suit therapy method(P<0/05) and combination method with traditional method(P<0/05), but no significant was observed between traditional method and suit therapy group(P>0/05). It can be concluded that combination method does more effect on dynamic balance, so it can be recommended as the best method for rehabilitation of athletes who suffer from lateral ankle sprain.
Key word: Lateral ankle sprain, Suit therapy, Dynamic balance.
