Abstract

This study investigated the effects of Tai Chi training on functionality, dynamic balance, kinesiophobia, and quality of life in athletes with Functional Ankle Instability (FAI). Forty-three athletes with FAI were randomly assigned to either a Tai Chi group (n = 21) or a control group (n = 22). The Tai Chi group followed a tailored exercise protocol addressing ankle instability through a three-phase progression, while the control group had no intervention but continued their usual activities. Measurements, including Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT), Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), Short Form-12 (SF-12), figure-8 hop test, and perceived treatment effect were assessed before and after the intervention. The Tai Chi group showed significant improvements in CAIT score and SEBT reach distance compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Tai Chi exercises also reduced TSK, improved figure-8 hop score, and enhanced the physical component of SF-12 (p < 0.005), with no significant effect on the mental component of SF-12 (p = 0.7). The findings imply that Tai Chi may be a valuable consideration for athletic trainers and sports medicine professionals working with athletes with FAI.

太极拳训练对功能性踝关节不稳定运动员的功能、动态平衡、运动恐惧症和生活质量的影响。

本研究调查了太极拳训练对功能性踝关节不稳定（FAI）运动员的功能、动态平衡、运动恐惧和生活质量的影响。43 名 FAI 运动员被随机分配到太极组（21 人）或对照组（22 人）。太极组采用量身定制的运动方案，通过三个阶段的渐进式训练来解决踝关节不稳定问题，而对照组则不采取任何干预措施，继续进行日常活动。干预前后的测量项目包括坎伯兰踝关节不稳定性工具（CAIT）、星形刺激平衡测试（SEBT）、坦帕运动恐惧量表（TSK）、SF-12 短表（SF-12）、8 字形跳跃测试以及治疗效果感知。与对照组相比，太极组在 CAIT 评分和 SEBT 到达距离方面有明显改善（p p p = 0.7）。研究结果表明，太极拳可能是运动训练员和运动医学专家治疗有 FAI 运动员的一个有价值的考虑因素。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
