Overview

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the immediate and short-term effects of the Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) method on individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI). In this context, the effects of the Graded Motor Imagery intervention on pain level, muscle stiffness, muscle strength, functional performance, and subjective instability level will be investigated. Additionally, these effects will be comparatively analyzed with an age- and sex-matched control group consisting of healthy individuals.
