Overview

Randomized trial shows increased sensorimotor function and postural control in chronic ankle instability, implying effective rehabilitation strategy.

Key Points

  • Individualized tDCS combined with foot core exercise significantly improves sensorimotor function.
  • Participants showed enhanced ankle strength and reduced sway velocity during single-leg standing tests.
  • The intervention was assessed over four weeks with improvements noted in the tDCS group compared to control.
  • Results suggest a beneficial approach for rehabilitation in individuals with chronic ankle instability.
