The study was a randomized clinical trial with the sample size of 26. The study was conducted at Sports Club Sheikhupura. Subjects were enrolled according to eligibility criteria. Patients were divided into two groups, each with 13 patients. Group A received SMART training intervention and warm-up exercises, while group B received Foot intensive rehabilitation exercises (FIRE) and warm up exercises. The session was around 45 to 60 min on each patient with three sessions per week on alternate days. A total of Three weeks treatment regime was given to the patients and assessment of patient's strength (CAIT) and performance (FAAM) was done at the baseline, after the completion of treatment at three weeks and after six weeks to observe the long-term effects.
Ankle sprain is one of the most common sports injuries in physically active individuals and causes a high financial burden on the healthcare system. Seventy-four percent of patients with an acute ankle sprain suffered from residual symptoms lasting 29 months after the initial ankle sprain, such as pain, perceived instability, weakness and swelling. Lateral ankle sprains (LASs) are a common injury sustained by individuals who participate in recreational physical activities and sports. After LAS, a large proportion of individuals develop long-term symptoms, which contribute to the development of chronic ankle instability (CAI).The aim of this study to determine the comparative effects of SMART training intervention versus foot intensive rehabilitation (FIRE) on strength and performance in athletes with chronic ankle instability.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group A: warm up exercises with SMART training | Active Comparator | For sensory stimulation planter massage was given, and it was applied to entire planter surface. Grade III anterior to posterior talocrural joint mobilization was given. For balance, single and double leg stance was performed. For functional training, lateral hops and SEBT was performed. And at the end, for resistance training, theraband was used with normal ankle joint movement. There is a progress in focus between the five domains over the 3weeks, as described below: The domains S and M are present across the whole intervention. In week 1, the main focus is on the A domain, in week 2 on the R domain, and in week 3 on the T domain. During the 3-week intervention period, 3 training sessions was held per week each lasting approximately 45 - 60 min, including 10 min warm up. |
|
| Group B: Warm up exercises with foot intensive rehabilitation(FIRE) | Active Comparator | The FIRE intervention was included the progressive balance training, ankle and hip strengthening, range of motion exercises and foot massage. Plantar massage consisted of two, 1-min plantar massages with a 1-min rest between sets. Four previously established exercises were target the IFMs including the short-foot, toe-spread-out, hallux extension, and lesser-toe extension. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) | Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) was originally developed in English and proved to be of high content validity and good reliability. The main advantage of the questionnaire is that it consists of only 9 items, minimizing patient burden and increasing reliability. The precision of the instrument is increased as it is a multiple answer option instrument | Change from Baseline at 3 weeks and 6 weeks |
| Foot and Ankle Ability Measurement (FAAM) | The Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) assess the functional limitation of the foot and ankle. The FAAM has 29 items, scored between 0 and 4, divided into two sub-scales: activities of daily living (21 items) and sports (8 items)(24).For score analysis, the percentage of each sub scale is used separately. For FAAM ADL, person reliability is 0.87 and item reliability is0.99. For FAAM Sport, person reliability is 0.89 and item reliability is 1.0 | Change from Baseline at 3 weeks and 6 weeks |
