고유수용성 감각 훈련과 자가근막이완 적용이 만성 발목 불안정성 성인의 균형과 발목관절 가동범위에 미치는효과 -Pilot Study-

초록

Purpose: This study aimed to compare and analyze the effects of proprioceptive training and self-myofascial release on gait,balance, and ankle range of motion (ROM) in adults with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Methods: Adults with CAI were identified using the Chronic Ankle Instability Questionnaire and the Cumberland AnkleInstability Tool. Ten participants were randomly assigned to either a proprioceptive training group or a self-myofascial releasegroup. Both interventions were conducted twice a week for four weeks, with each session lasting approximately 30 minutes. Gaitand balance abilities were assessed using the Y-Balance Test (anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions), theFigure-of-8 Walk Test (F8WT), and the Functional Reach Test (FRT). Ankle ROM was evaluated in dorsiflexion, plantarflexion,inversion, and eversion. Results: The proprioceptive training group demonstrated significant improvements in all directions of the Y-Balance Test. Theself-myofascial release group showed significant improvements in F8WT and FRT. Both groups exhibited increased ankle ROMin certain movements. These findings suggest that proprioceptive training contributes to improvements in balance and postural control, while self-myofascial release enhances mobility and flexibility in adults with CAI. Conclusion: Proprioceptive training and self-myofascial release can be practical and accessible interventions for improvingbalance and mobility in individuals with chronic ankle instability. Selection between the two methods may be tailoredbased on the patient's functional goals and clinical condition.
