Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) is a prevalent and debilitating condition that afflicts a considerable portion of the population


The results of ankle injuries are

  • reduced physical activity

  • impaired quality of life

  • increased risk of future muscle dysfunctions


Our patients with ankle instability often have:

  • reduced ankle muscle strength

  • poor dorsiflexion and plantarflexion movements

  • poor ability to perform weight-bearing activities

  • more susceptible to ankle sprains

  • have recurrent ankle sprains


Research has looked into the importance of POSTURAL CONTROL for people with chronic ankle instability


Signs you have poor posture leading to ankle instability are

  • joint instability

  • can't stand steady

  • inability to do single-leg stance tasks

  • increased sway when standing

  • struggling to do rapid movements
