Abstract

Abstract Background: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a condition where the ankle repeatedly gives way, creating a persistent feel-ing of instability and looseness. Risk of falling develops as a result of recurrent injury, documented in 20 to 50% of these cases. Individuals suffering from CAI typically undergo tra-ditional physical therapy protocols aimed at enhancing ROM, muscular strength, proprioceptive awareness, functional ability, and balance. Aim of Study: Is to review the effect of Wii Fit rehabilita-tion training on balance, functional ability, and risk of fall in patients with CAI. Conclusion: Despite the recognized benefits of Wii Fit on health-related outcomes for individuals with CAI, its attrac-tiveness as a method to motivate and engage these patients in higher levels of physical activity, there is still insufficient evidence comparing its efficacy to that of traditional physical therapy programs, which include stretching, strengthening, and proprioceptive balance exercises, in enhancing balance stabili-ty, functional ability, and reducing fall risk in individuals with CAI.
