Deficient sensory input from damaged ankle ligament receptors is thought to contribute to sensorimotor deficits in those with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Targeting other viable sensory receptors may then enhance sensorimotor control in these patients. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the effects of 2 weeks of sensory-targeted rehabilitation strategies (STARS) on patient- and clinician-oriented outcomes in those with CAI. Eighty patients with self-reported CAI participated. All patients completed patient-oriented questionnaires capturing self-reported function as well as the weight-bearing lunge test (WBLT) and an eyes closed single limb balance test. After baseline testing, patients were randomly allocated to four STARS groups: joint mobilization (JM), plantar massage (PM), triceps surae stretching (TS), or control (CON). Each patient in the intervention groups received six, five-minute treatments of their respective STARS over two weeks. All subjects were reassessed on patient and clinician oriented measures immediately following the intervention and completed a one-month follow up that consisted of patient-oriented measures. Change scores of the three STARS groups were compared to the CON using independent t-tests and Hedge’s g effect sizes (ES) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). The JM group had the greatest WBLT improvement. PM had the most meaningful single limb balance improvement. All STARS groups improved patient-oriented outcomes with JM having the most meaningful effect immediately after the intervention and PM at the one-month follow up. Each STARS treatment offers unique contributions to the patient and clinician oriented rehabilitation outcomes of those with CAI. Both JM and PM appear to demonstrate the greatest potential to improve sensorimotor function in those with CAI.
