Description
Summary:<p>Lateral Ankle Sprains (LAS) are the most common soft tissue injuries among athletes.</p><p>This study aimed to examine the effects of a six-week MobEx Model Intervention</p><p>Program on athletes without previous history of Lateral Ankle Sprains (W/OLAS) and</p><p>athletes with a previous history of Lateral Ankle Sprains (WLAS), specifically to alter</p><p>the intrinsic risk factors consist of ankle dorsiflexion range of motion, dynamic balance,</p><p>functional ability of the ankle. A single blinded prospective randomized control trail</p><p>with experimental cross-sectional research design was used in this study. The</p><p>researcher recruited 33 athletes W/OLAS and 27 athletes WLAS independently. They</p><p>were randomized into MobEx Group (MGR N=20), Placebo Group (PCR N=20) and</p><p>Control Group (CGR N=20). The MGR undergone six weeks MobEx Model</p><p>Intervention Program, the PGR received placebo intervention for six weeks and the</p><p>CGR received no intervention. Baseline measurements were taken for DF ROM by</p><p>Weight Bearing Lunge Test, dynamic balance by Modified Bass Test for Dynamic</p><p>Balance, and foot and ankle ability measure for Activities of Daily Living (FAAMADL)</p><p>and Sports Subscale (FAAM-SS) using Foot and Ankle Ability Measure</p><p>questionnaire before and after the intervention. After one month, these variables were</p><p>measured again for retention test. The MANOVA test results revealed that there are</p><p>significant differences among all criterion measures at <0.05 for athletes W/OLAS</p><p>and athlete WLAS. Study findings indicated that MobEx Model Intervention Program</p><p>revealed significant effects on intrinsic risk factors i.e. DF ROM and dynamic balance</p><p>at = 0.000, respectively. Thereby, improving, and enduring FAAM-ADL and FAAMSS</p><p>at = 0.000 respectively for athletes W/OLAS and athlete WLAS. This study is</p><p>suggesting that the intervention program is effective and clinically significance to alter</p><p>intrinsic risk factors for lateral ankle sprains among athletes.</p>
