Evaluation of trunk muscle strength in patients of chronic ankle instability
This study will be conducted in the Isokinetic Laboratory. Sixty females with CAI will participate in this study. Their age will range from 18-30 years. They will be divided into two groups; the experimental and the control group. The experimental group will involve 30 females with CAI and the control group will involve 30 healthy females. The isokinetic strength of trunk muscles will be evaluated in a concentric mode of muscle contraction at an angular velocity 60°/sec. McGill test will be used to assess trunk muscle endurance.

Exclusion Criteria:
1-A history of previous surgeries or fractures in either limb of lower extremity.
2-Acute injury to musculoskeletal structures of other joints of the lower extremity in the previous three months, which impacted joint integrity and function (ie, sprains, fractures) resulting in at least one interrupted day of desired physical activity.
3-Any positive findings of the anterior drawer or talar tilt test (Hubbard and Kaminski, 2002).
