Brief Summary:
Physical activity and in particular sport is beneficial to health Nevertheless some of these activities may create a risk of injury Ankle sprain is the most common sport related injury Sports that are causing the highest number of ankle sprains are football 30 handball-basketball-volleyball-rugby 24 gymnastics sports 6 skiing 6 cycling 6 athletics 4 and contact sports 4 A recent study in the Netherlands identified a total of 13 million sports injuries 47 of these patients required medical care The total costs direct and indirect were assessed 84240000 EUR per year
Prospective studies demonstrated that athletes with a ankle sprain have a twofold risk of re-injury during the first year after the trauma and in half of patients with an ankle sprain recurrence this could lead to instability or chronic pain of the ankle
The Wii Balance Board is a tool that is increasingly used in the field of health In some hospitals therapists are beginning to use it for the rehabilitation of patients after surgery fractures or strokes
Patients are asked to complete their physical therapy session by practicing sports via video games such as skiing bowling or hula hoop Currently there are no randomized controlled studies that publish on the effectiveness of this tool Recently a study investigated the efficacy of the Wii Balance Board to improve balance strength joint mobility and level of physical activity After 10 weeks of training people an increased strength and balance was found However these results still require statistical confirmation Thus this objectives of this study are
To assess the efficacy of exercise training with the Wii Balance Board Platform
To evaluate the effectiveness of physical therapy based on current guidelines
To compare these two types of care conventional physiotherapy versus Wii to a control group non-treatment
