Effects Of Short Foot Exercises On Kinesiophobia In Patients With Functional Ankle Instability Using CAIT

Abstract

Short-Foot Exercise (SFE) Is A Widely Used Balance Training Intervention That Has Been Developed Recently To Improve Ankle Proprioception And To Strengthen The Intrinsic Foot Muscles (IFM) To Elevate And Support The Medial Longitudinal Arch (MLA) Of The Foot And Improve Dynamic Standing Balance SFE Is Performed By Attempting To Pull The Head Of The First Metatarsal Toward The Calcaneus, Without Curling The Toes. Kinesiophobia, Also Called “Fear Of Movement Or Activity,” Is Defined As An Excessive Fear Of Physical Movement, Expecting  Or Feeling Of Vulnerability To Painful Injury.  Functional Ankle Instability (FAI) Is A Condition That Causes Mechanical Alterations To The Ankle Joint And Leads To Disability. The Main Purpose Of The Study Was To Evaluate FAI (Functional Ankle Instability) Using CAIT (Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool).It Is Also Proven That Kinesiophobia Is Present In Patients With Functional Ankle Instability Discriminative Validity Was Tested To Determine Whether The CAIT Could Discriminate Between Subjects With And Without Functional Ankle Instability.  The Study Assessment Was Done To See The Effects Of Short Foot Exercises In Kinesiophobia With Patients With Functional Ankle Instability. 20 Males And 20 Females Were Included In This Study Who Had Functional Ankle Instability. The 20 Male Subjects Were Divided In A Group Of Two As In One For The Experimental Study And The Other For The Control Group Study Same Procedure Was Followed For The Females And They Were Further Divided Into Groups. The P-Value Of TSK-11 Pre Male Compared To Post Male It Is Statistically Significant. The P-Value Of TSK-11 Pre Female Compared To Post Female Indicates That The Data Is Statistically Significant. The P-Value Of CAIT Post Male And Female Compared To TSK-11 Post Male And Female Suggests The Result Is Statistically Significant. The P-Value Of CAIT Pre Male And Female Compared To TSK-11 Pre Male And Female Indicates That The Data Is Statistically Significant. The P-Value Of CAIT Post Male And Female Compared To TSK-11 Post Male And Female Indicates That The Data Is Statistically Significant.
