A154: Effects Of Stroboscopic Vision On Static Postural Control In Individuals With Chronic Ankle Instability, Yurui Shen, Mengyu Liu, Jingkun Zhang, Ting Lai, Zhipeng Zhou

International Journal of Physical Activity and Health

Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a syndrome characterized by persistent dysfunction resulting from repeated ankle sprains, often leading to impaired postural control in affected individuals. Although rehabilitation training on unstable surfaces is effective for patients with CAI, it does not sufficiently reduce their reliance on visual input. While eye-closure training can restrict visual input, it poses safety risks and exhibits low compliance rates. Stroboscopic vision may offer a safe and effective alternative; however, its efficacy in reducing visual reliance among CAI patients on unstable surfaces remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the impact of stroboscopic vision on static …
