Effects of Dual-Task-Based Balance Exercise on Enhancing Single-Limb Static and Dynamic Balance Performance in Children with a Previous Ankle Sprain History
Quasi-experimental study shows dual-task training improves single-limb balance in children with ankle sprain, indicating its potential benefits.
Key Points
Dual-task balance exercises significantly enhance static and dynamic balance in male children with a history of ankle sprains.
In a comparison of training methods, static balance improved most in the dual-task group, outperforming both single-task and control groups (p < .05).
The assessments conducted included the Stork test for static balance and the Y balance test for dynamic balance before and after the intervention.
These results support the use of dual-task models in physical training for children recovering from ankle injuries, encouraging adoption in coaching practices.
