The Effects of Open Versus Closed Kinetic Chain Exercises on Ankle Joint Function

The goal of this Randomized clinical trial is to find the effects of open versus closed kinetic chain exercises on ankle joint function in athletes with chronic ankle instability. The main question it aims to answer is:• To compare the effects of open versus closed kinetic chain exercises on pain, instability and balance in athletes with chronic ankle instability.Participants will be a given consent form and after subjects read and signed the informed consent and completed the self-reported questionnaires designed to identify subjects with CHRONIC ANKLE INSTABILITY, subjects completed baseline measurements that included Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM)-Sport Subscale, Reach distance, and SEBT. Participant will be divided into two groups (Group A and Group B) through lottery method. Group A will receive open kinetic exercises 3times a week for 3-4 weeks. Group B will receive close kinetic exercises 3 times a week for 3-4 weeks.
