Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Mobilization with Movement of Distal Tibiofibular joint along with Regular Training.   Subjects will be recruited after they fulfill the inclusion criteria. Pre-assessment or the baseline data of the recruited subjects will be taken by assessor and will include mSEBT, Figure of 8 Hop test and Lateral Hop test of all participates. Participates will be allocated into Experimental (Group A) and control groups (Group B) with odd and even method. Experimental Group will receive Mobilization with Movement of distal tibiofibular joint along with regular training. The participant’s inferior tibiofibular joint will be mobilized. The technique will be performed in supine lying with the tibia resting on the plinth and the foot unsupported off the plinth’s edge. The therapist stands at the foot end of the plinth and applies a sustained pain-free glide to the fibula in posterior, lateral and superior direction. This glide is maintained while the participant performs active inversion or dorsiflexion to end of range. There should be no pain with the active movement. At the end of range, the practitioner will apply and sustain overpressure to the active movement for a few seconds (or the participant will do so after appropriate instruction). One treatment session will consist of three sets, with six to ten repetitions of the active movement in each set. Participants will receive between 9 sessions, over a period of 3 weeks. Regular training consists of Warm up, agility training, strengthening, cold down exercises which will be done by both the groups regularly. After 3 weeks assessment of mSEBT, Figure of 8 Hop test, Lateral Hop test will be noted by assessor. Data obtained will be analyzed using paired t test within the group and unpaired t test between the group.

Brief Summary   Ankle sprains are most common injuries among active individuals, approximately 74% of individuals who sustain a lateral ankle sprain have residual symptoms, and they develop condition known as chronic ankle instability (CAI), so understanding effective rehabilitation strategies is crucial for their timely recovery and return to sports. In basketball players due to repetitive jumping, cuttings, rapid stops, and directional changes ankle sprain is very common, which further leads to Chronic ankle instability (36–64%). It can affect the player’s confidence and their ability to perform. A fast recovery allows them to regain confidence in their ankle’s stability and functionality. Basketball players may experience more frequent and potentially more severe ankle sprains leading to chronic ankle instability due to the demands of their activities than others. MWM can help by improving joint alignment and reducing stress on injured tissues. Assessing the impact of MWM can contribute to the development of evidence-based interventions for managing different factors in chronic ankle instability. Ankle Instability can affect proprioception and balance, which are crucial for the players performance. Studying the impact of MWM on balance can provide insights into its potential role in improving proprioception and reducing the risk of recurrent injuries. Players with Chronic Ankle Instability may experience limitations, affecting their ability to execute precise movements, make quick decisions, and perform at their best. Investigating interventions like Mobilization with Movement can help identify methods to enhance performance and reduce the impact of Chronic Ankle Instability on basketball players. All this can contribute to reducing the incidence of ankle injuries and improving the overall health and longevity of basketball players’ careers. Ankle instability, if not managed properly, can lead to chronic issues like post traumatic osteoarthritis and increased injury risk in ankle joint.
Assessing the impact of MWM on the recovery process may contribute to preventing long-term complications associated with ankle instability. Adding to the scientific literature on the effects of MWM in basketball players with chronic ankle instability contributes to the overall body of knowledge in sports medicine and physical therapy, potentially influencing future research and clinical practices. In conclusion, studying the effects of Mobilization with Movement of Distal Tibiofibular joint on balance and functional performance in basketball players with chronic ankle instability is valuable for both clinical practice and the advancement of scientific knowledge in the field of sports medicine.
