Comparison of kinetic adaptations in gait initiation following exergaming and balance training in athletes with chronic ankle instability

Key Points

• Improved gait initiation is seen in athletes with chronic ankle instability after exergaming.
• Athletes showed a significant increase in kinetic adaptations with a 20% enhancement in balance metrics.
• Assessment using kinetic measures across balanced training and exergaming interventions provides insights into rehabilitation effectiveness.
• Findings suggest exergaming may be a beneficial addition to standard balance training for effective recovery strategies.
