Meta-analysis of the effect of proprioceptive exercise and theraband exercise on improving stability ankle in cases of chronic ankle instability (CAI) athletes

Abstract

Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) is an injury to the lateral ligament complex that lasts more than 7 days. This study aims to analyze the effect of proprioceptive exercise and theraband exercise on increasing ankle stability in cases of chronic ankle instability (CAI) in athletes. The research method used in this research is systematic review and meta analysis carried out using PRISMA flow diagrams. Search for articles through journal databases including: PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scoolar by selecting articles published in 2014-2024. The keywords used are "Chronic Ankle Instabiliy" AND "(Proprioceptive OR Proprioceptive exercise)" AND "(Theraband OR Theraband Exercise)" AND "Stability" AND "Athlete". Inclusion criteria were full paper articles with a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) research method, the relationship measure used was the Mean SD, the intervention provided was Proprioceptive exercise and Theraband exercise, the research subjects had an age range of 12-45 years, and an athlete suffering from Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI). Eligible articles were analyzed using the Revman 5.3 application. The research results showed that the meta-analysis of 16 articles showed the results of Proprioceptive exercise (SMD= 1.10; 95% CI= 0.45 to 1.75; p= 0.00009) and Theraband Exercise (SMD= 1.05; 95% CI= 0.51 to 1.59; p= 0.0001). Thus, Proprioceptive exercise and Theraband Exercise have a significant effect on increasing ankle stability in cases of Chonic Ankle Instability (CAI) in athletes.
