title: Effects of ankle disc training on muscular strength and postural control.
abstract: Ankle disc training gave good objective results in patients with functional instability of the ankle joint, that is a feeling of giving way or recurrent sprains. The training programme improved both postural control, as demonstrated by stabilometry, and isokinetic pronator muscle strength. A 10-week training period was apparently sufficient, and further training could not be shown to be beneficial.
