Official title
The Role of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) on Improving Function in Individuals With Chronic Ankle Instability
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Chronic ankle instability is associated with changes in the nervous system that amount to increased difficulty in activating the stabilizing muscles of the ankle. Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation involves using electricity to activate those muscles in bursts, and is commonly used to improve muscle function in those with ACL injury. This study will provide 5 treatments over 2 weeks in patients with Chronic Ankle Instability and determine if Electrical Stimulation can change neural excitability, balance, neuromuscular control, and perceived function in these individuals.
